Let's divide 879508 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 879508.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 can be fit into 87 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 87, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
17 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 17 from 29 to get 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 can be fit into 125 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 517.0
If we subtract 119 from 125, we get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 17

Step 5:
When dividing 60 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5173.0
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 goes into 98 5 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51735.0
Deduct 85 from 98 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 51735.7
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 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 number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51735.76
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left with 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: 51735.764
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51735.7647
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:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 51735.7647
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51735.764705
Deduct 85 from 100 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51735.7647058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51735.76470588
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.

The quotient of the division is 51735.76470588, and the remainder is 4e-09.
