We're dividing 298281 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 298281 by 17.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
29 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 17 away from 29, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 17

Step 3:
If we divide 128 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 119 from 128 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
17 goes into 92 5 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 175.0
Subtracting 85 from 92 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 17

On to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 78 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1754.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 68 from 78.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 101 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
101 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17545.0
Subtracting 85 from 101 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17545.9
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17545.94
If we take 68 away from 70, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17545.941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17545.9411
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.

The final outcome is 17545.9411, with a leftover of 0.00013.
