246859 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 246859 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 17 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 17

Step 3:
76 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 68 from 76 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 88 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 85 from 88 to get 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 35 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1452.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 34 from 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 17

On to step 6:
If we divide 19 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14521.0
If we subtract 17 from 19, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14521.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14521.11
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.

After the division, we end up with 14521.11 and a remainder of 0.013.
