We look at the division of 51845 by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 51845.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 51, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
8 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 84 / 17

On to step 4:
84 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 304.0
If we take 68 away from 84, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 165 / 17

Step 5:
The number 17 fits into 165 9 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3049.0
Deduct 153 from 165 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3049.7
Subtract 119 from 120 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3049.7
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:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3049.705
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.

Moving on to step 9:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3049.7058
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.

Step 10:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3049.70588
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.

The final outcome is 3049.70588, with a leftover of 4e-06.
