427984 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 427984 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 can be fit into 42 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 34 from 42 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 87 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 85 from 87.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 29 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 251.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 17 from 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 128 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2517.0
Subtracting 119 from 128 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 94 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25175.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 85 from 94.
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 7:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25175.5
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25175.52
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25175.529
Subtracting 153 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 70 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25175.5294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
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 11:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25175.52941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25175.529411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 25175.529411 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
