996738 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 996738 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 17

On to step 2:
99 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 85 from 99 to get 14.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 146 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 136 from 146 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 107 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 586.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 102 from 107.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 goes into 53 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5863.0
If we take 51 away from 53, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 17

Step 6:
The number 17 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58631.0
If we subtract 17 from 28, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
17 can be fit into 110 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58631.6
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58631.64
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us 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 9:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58631.647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58631.647
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58631.64705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
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 12:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58631.647058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we 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.

On to step 13:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58631.6470588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 58631.6470588 and a remainder of 4e-08.
