We divide 278008 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 278008.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 27 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 108 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 102 from 108 to get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 163.0
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 90 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 90 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1635.0
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 goes into 58 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16353.0
Subtracting 51 from 58 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 7:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16353.4
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16353.41
If we subtract 17 from 20, we 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.

Step 9:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16353.411
Subtract 17 from 30 to 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 16353.411 with a balance of 0.0013.
