We divide 980539 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 980539 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 goes into 98 5 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 98, we get 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
130 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 119 from 130 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 115 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 115 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 576.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 102 from 115.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 133 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5767.0
If we take 119 away from 133, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 149 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 57678.0
If we subtract 136 from 149, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
130 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57678.7
Subtract 119 from 130 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 57678.76
Subtract 102 from 110 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
17 goes into 80 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57678.764
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57678.7647
If we subtract 119 from 120, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57678.7647
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57678.764705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57678.7647058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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 14:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57678.76470588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 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 57678.76470588 with a balance of 4e-09.
