Let's divide 480996 by 17
We want to divide 480996 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 can be fit into 48 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 34 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 282.0
Deduct 34 from 49 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 17

On to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 159 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2829.0
If we take 153 away from 159, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 66 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28293.0
Deduct 51 from 66 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28293.8
If we subtract 136 from 150, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28293.88
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 28293.88 with a remaining 0.004.
