986491 divided by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 986491.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 85 from 98.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 136 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 136 from 136 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 580.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 49 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5802.0
If we take 34 away from 49, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 151 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58028.0
Deduct 136 from 151 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.

On to step 7:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58028.8
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 8:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58028.88
If we subtract 136 from 140, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 58028.88 with a balance of 0.004.
