We're dividing 231715 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 231715 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
23 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 23 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 17

Step 3:
61 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 51 from 61 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
17 goes into 107 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we take 102 away from 107, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 51 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1363.0
Subtracting 51 from 51 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 5 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13630.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13630.2
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13630.29
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13630.294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13630.2941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13630.29411
If we subtract 17 from 30, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13630.29411 and a remainder of 1.3e-05.
