294998 ÷ 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 294998.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 29 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 124 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 119 from 124 to get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we subtract 51 from 59, we get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
17 goes into 89 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1735.0
If we subtract 85 from 89, we get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
17 goes into 48 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 17352.0
Subtracting 34 from 48 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 7:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17352.8
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17352.82
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 34 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 9:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17352.823
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17352.8235
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17352.82352
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17352.823529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17352.8235294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17352.82352941
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.

The final outcome is 17352.82352941, with a leftover of 3e-09.
