We divide 71787 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 71787 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 17

Step 2:
71 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 68 from 71 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 37 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 34 from 37 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
38 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtract 34 from 38 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 47 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4222.0
If we take 34 away from 47, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 130 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4222.7
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 110 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4222.76
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4222.764
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4222.7647
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4222.7647
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4222.764705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4222.7647058
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4222.76470588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 4222.76470588 with a remainder of 4e-09.
