We're dividing 240840 by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 240840.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 can be fit into 24 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 17 from 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141.0
If we take 17 away from 28, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 114 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 114 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1416.0
If we take 102 away from 114, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14167.0
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14167.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14167.05
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 14167.058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14167.0588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 14167.0588 with a remaining 4e-05.
