We divide 541788 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 541788.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 17

Step 2:
The number 17 fits into 54 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 51 from 54 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 17

On to step 3:
17 goes into 31 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 17 away from 31, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 147 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 136 away from 147, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 118 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3186.0
If we take 102 away from 118, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 168 / 17

On to step 6:
17 goes into 168 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31869.0
If we take 153 away from 168, we end up with 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 7:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31869.8
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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 8:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31869.88
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.

The final result is 31869.88 with a remainder of 0.004.
