We divide 223878 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 223878 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 goes into 22 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 22 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 53 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 51 away from 53, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
28 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131.0
Deduct 17 from 28 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
117 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1316.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 102 from 117.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 158 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13169.0
Deduct 153 from 158 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13169.2
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 13169.29
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 9:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13169.294
Subtract 68 from 70 to get 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 10:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13169.2941
Subtract 17 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13169.29411
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13169.29411 and a remainder of 1.3e-05.
