Let's divide 423831 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 423831.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 17

Step 2:
When dividing 42 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 34 from 42 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 17

On to step 3:
17 goes into 83 4 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 68 from 83 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 158 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 249.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 153 from 158.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 53 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2493.0
Subtract 51 from 53 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 21 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24931.0
Deduct 17 from 21 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
40 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24931.2
Deduct 34 from 40 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24931.23
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 51 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 24931.235
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 85 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24931.2352
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
17 can be fit into 160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24931.23529
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24931.235294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24931.2352941
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 14:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24931.23529411
Subtracting 17 from 30 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.

Our division results in 24931.23529411 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
