254211 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 254211.

On to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 25 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
84 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 68 away from 84, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 162 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we subtract 153 from 162, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 91 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1495.0
If we subtract 85 from 91, we get 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 17

Step 6:
17 goes into 61 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14953.0
Subtracting 51 from 61 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14953.5
Deduct 85 from 100 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14953.58
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14953.588
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 14953.588, and the remainder is 0.0004.
