We divide 856972 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 856972.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 85 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 85, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
6 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
69 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 504.0
If we take 68 away from 69, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5041.0
Subtracting 17 from 17 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50410.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50410.1
If we subtract 17 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50410.11
Subtract 17 from 30 to 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.

Our division results in 50410.11 with a remaining 0.013.
