978540 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 978540.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 can be fit into 97 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 85 from 97 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 17

Step 3:
When dividing 128 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we take 119 away from 128, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
95 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 575.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 85 from 95.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 can be fit into 104 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5756.0
Subtract 102 from 104 to get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 57561.0
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57561.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
17 can be fit into 130 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57561.17
Subtract 119 from 130 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57561.176
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57561.1764
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 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 11:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57561.17647
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left with 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 12:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 57561.17647
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 57561.1764705
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57561.17647058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 57561.17647058, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
