877979 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 877979 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 85 from 87 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 27 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we subtract 17 from 27, we get 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 109 6 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 516.0
If we subtract 102 from 109, we get 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 17

Step 5:
17 goes into 77 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5164.0
Subtracting 68 from 77 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 goes into 99 5 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51645.0
Subtracting 85 from 99 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 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 51645.8
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51645.82
If we subtract 34 from 40, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51645.823
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51645.8235
Subtract 85 from 90 to get 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:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51645.82352
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 51645.823529
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 51645.8235294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
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 14:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51645.82352941
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.

After the division, we end up with 51645.82352941 and a remainder of 3e-09.
