We're dividing 637709 by 17 
We want to divide 637709 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 17

Step 2:
The number 17 fits into 63 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 51 from 63 to get 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 127 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 119 away from 127, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 87 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 375.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 85 from 87.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3751.0
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 17

Step 6:
39 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 37512.0
If we take 34 away from 39, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 37512.2
Subtract 34 from 50 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to 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: 37512.29
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 70 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37512.294
Subtract 68 from 70 to 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.

On to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37512.2941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
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:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 37512.29411
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.

The quotient of the division is 37512.29411, and the remainder is 1.3e-05.
