We look at the division of 558878 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 558878 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
55 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 55 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 34 from 48 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 148 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we subtract 136 from 148, we get 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 goes into 127 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3287.0
If we take 119 away from 127, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 17

Step 6:
If we divide 88 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32875.0
Subtract 85 from 88 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32875.1
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us 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 8:
When dividing 130 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32875.17
Subtracting 119 from 130 leaves us 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 9:
17 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32875.176
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 32875.1764
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left 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 11:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32875.17647
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32875.17647
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 32875.1764705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32875.17647058
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 32875.17647058 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
