Let's divide 868256 by 17
We want to divide 868256 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
86 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 85 from 86 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 17

Step 3:
The number 17 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 17 from 18 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 510.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 125 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5107.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 119 from 125.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
17 goes into 66 3 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51073.0
If we subtract 51 from 66, 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.

Step 7:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51073.8
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51073.88
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 51073.88, with a leftover of 0.004.
