161697 divided by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 161697.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 17

Step 3:
When dividing 161 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 153 away from 161, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 86 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 95.0
If we subtract 85 from 86, we get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 951.0
Subtract 17 from 19 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
17 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9511.0
If we take 17 away from 27, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9511.5
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9511.58
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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 9:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9511.588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 9511.588 with a remaining 0.0004.
