We're dividing 212875 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 212875 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 21 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 can be fit into 42 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 34 away from 42, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 88 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 85 from 88.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 17

On to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1252.0
Deduct 34 from 37 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 17

Step 6:
The number 17 fits into 35 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12522.0
Subtract 34 from 35 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.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12522.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12522.05
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12522.058
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12522.0588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12522.0588 with a balance of 4e-05.
