We're dividing 977144 by 17 
We want to divide 977144 by 17.

Step 1:
The number 17 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 97 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 97, we get 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 127 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 119 away from 127, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 81 4 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 574.0
Subtract 68 from 81 to get 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
134 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5747.0
If we subtract 119 from 134, we get 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
154 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 57479.0
If we take 153 away from 154, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57479.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 57479.05
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57479.058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 57479.0588
Subtract 136 from 140 to 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 57479.0588 with a balance of 4e-05.
