We're dividing 11917541 by 817 
We're looking to find how many times 817 goes into 11917541.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 817, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 817

On to step 2:
The number 817 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 817

Going ahead to step 3:
817 can be fit into 119 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 119.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 119 leaves us with 119.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 119 and continue with: 1191 / 817

On to step 4:
If we divide 1191 by 817, we get 1 and a remainder of 374.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 817 from 1191 to get 374.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 374 and continue with: 3747 / 817

On to step 5:
817 goes into 3747 4 times with a remainder of 479.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 3268 from 3747 leaves us with 479.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 479 and repeat the process: 4795 / 817

Advancing to step 6:
4795 divided by 817 is 5 with a remainder of 710.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 145.0
The remainder is 710 after subtracting 4085 from 4795.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 710, then carry on: 7104 / 817

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 7104 by 817, we get 8 with a remainder of 568.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1458.0
The remainder is 568 after subtracting 6536 from 7104.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 568, then repeat: 5681 / 817

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 5681 by 817, we get 6 and a remainder of 779.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14586.0
Deduct 4902 from 5681 and we're left with 779.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 7790 by 817, we get 9 and a remainder of 437.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14586.9
If we subtract 7353 from 7790, we get 437.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
817 goes into 4370 5 times with a remainder of 285.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14586.95
Subtract 4085 from 4370 to get 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 817 fits into 2850 3 times, leaving a remainder of 399.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14586.953
If we take 2451 away from 2850, we end up with 399.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 817 fits into 3990 4 times, leaving a remainder of 722.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14586.9534
If we take 3268 away from 3990, we end up with 722.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
817 goes into 7220 8 times with a remainder of 684.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14586.95348
Subtracting 6536 from 7220 leaves us with 684.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
817 can be fit into 6840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 304.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14586.953488
If we take 6536 away from 6840, we end up with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 14586.953488, with a leftover of 3.04e-05.
