We divide 245886 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 245886 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 24 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 75 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 68 away from 75, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 can be fit into 78 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144.0
If we subtract 68 from 78, we get 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 108 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1446.0
Subtract 102 from 108 to get 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 17

On to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 66 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14463.0
Deduct 51 from 66 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 14463.8
Subtracting 136 from 150 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.

Step 8:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14463.88
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14463.88 with a balance of 0.004.
