Let's divide 877840 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 877840.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 17

Step 2:
When dividing 87 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 85 from 87 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 27 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 17 from 27 to get 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 can be fit into 108 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
Subtract 102 from 108 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 64 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5163.0
Subtracting 51 from 64 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 130 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
130 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51637.0
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51637.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51637.64
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.

Step 9:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51637.647
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 10:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51637.647
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 51637.64705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51637.647058
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.

Step 13:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51637.6470588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 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 51637.6470588, and the remainder is 4e-08.
