We look at the division of 331457 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 331457 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
33 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 33 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 161 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 153 away from 161, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 84 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 194.0
If we subtract 68 from 84, we get 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 17

On to step 5:
If we divide 165 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1949.0
If we take 153 away from 165, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 127 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19497.0
If we take 119 away from 127, 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 7:
If we divide 80 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19497.4
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 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 8:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19497.47
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19497.47
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 10:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19497.4705
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 11:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19497.47058
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19497.470588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 19497.470588 and a remainder of 4e-07.
