Let's divide 471738 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 471738.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 17

Step 2:
The number 17 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 34 from 47 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 131 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 131 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 119 from 131 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 127 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 277.0
If we take 119 away from 127, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 83 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2774.0
Deduct 68 from 83 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 17

On to step 6:
When dividing 158 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27749.0
If we subtract 153 from 158, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27749.2
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.

Step 8:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27749.29
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 9:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27749.294
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.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27749.2941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27749.29411
Subtract 17 from 30 to 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.

The final result is 27749.29411 with a remainder of 1.3e-05.
