Let's divide 596905 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 596905.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 can be fit into 59 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 59, we get 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 86 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 85 from 86.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 19 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351.0
Subtracting 17 from 19 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.0
If we subtract 17 from 20, we get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 17

On to step 6:
If we divide 35 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35112.0
If we subtract 34 from 35, we 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35112.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35112.05
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35112.058
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35112.0588
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.

The final result is 35112.0588 with a remainder of 4e-05.
