We divide 83779 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 83779 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 17

Step 2:
The number 17 fits into 83 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 68 from 83, we get 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 17

Step 3:
157 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 153 from 157.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 492.0
If we take 34 away from 47, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 139 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4928.0
Deduct 136 from 139 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4928.1
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4928.17
Subtract 119 from 130 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4928.176
Subtract 102 from 110 to 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 9:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4928.1764
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4928.17647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4928.17647
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4928.1764705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4928.17647058
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.

Our division results in 4928.17647058 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
