971206 ÷ 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 971206 can be divided by 17.

On 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
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
97 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 85 away from 97, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 121 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 119 from 121 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 22 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 571.0
Deduct 17 from 22 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5712.0
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 166 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 166 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57129.0
If we subtract 153 from 166, 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57129.7
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.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57129.76
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57129.764
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 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:
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: 57129.7647
Subtract 119 from 120 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57129.7647
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57129.764705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57129.7647058
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.

Step 14:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57129.76470588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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 57129.76470588 with a balance of 4e-09.
