We're dividing 589909 by 17 
We want to divide 589909 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 goes into 58 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 58, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 17

Step 3:
If we divide 79 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 68 from 79.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 119 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 347.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 119 from 119.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 0 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3470.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 9 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34700.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 34700.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 85 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 34700.52
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left 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 9:
160 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34700.529
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34700.5294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34700.52941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34700.529411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 34700.529411, with a leftover of 1.3e-06.
