38587 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 38587.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 38 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 34 away from 38, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 45 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 34 from 45 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
118 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 226.0
Subtracting 102 from 118 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
17 goes into 167 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2269.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 153 from 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2269.8
Deduct 136 from 140 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.

Advancing to step 7:
40 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2269.82
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.

Step 8:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2269.823
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2269.8235
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.

Moving on to step 10:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2269.82352
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2269.823529
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.

Step 12:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2269.8235294
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2269.82352941
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.

The final outcome is 2269.82352941, with a leftover of 3e-09.
