154879 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 154879 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 17

Step 3:
154 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 153 from 154.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 91.0
Subtract 17 from 18 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 911.0
If we subtract 17 from 17, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9110.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9110.5
Deduct 85 from 90 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9110.52
If we take 34 away from 50, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9110.529
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9110.5294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9110.52941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 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 12:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9110.529411
If we subtract 17 from 30, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9110.529411 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
