We divide 674879 by 17
Our goal is to divide 674879 by 17.

On to step 1:
6 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 goes into 67 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 67, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 164 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 153 away from 164, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 17

Step 4:
The number 17 fits into 118 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 396.0
If we subtract 102 from 118, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 167 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3969.0
If we subtract 153 from 167, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 goes into 149 8 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 39698.0
Subtracting 136 from 149 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
17 can be fit into 130 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39698.7
If we subtract 119 from 130, we 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.

Step 8:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39698.76
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 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:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39698.764
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
120 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39698.7647
Subtract 119 from 120 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 39698.7647
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39698.764705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39698.7647058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39698.76470588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 39698.76470588 with a balance of 4e-09.
