8917 divided by 5 
Let's see how many times 5 fits into 8917.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 5 from 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 5

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 5, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 35 from 39 to get 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 41 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 40 away from 41, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 5

On to step 4:
If we divide 17 by 5, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1783.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
20 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1783.4
If we take 20 away from 20, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1783.4
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1783.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1783.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
