We divide 12909 by 17
We want to divide 12909 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 12 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 129 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 129 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 119 from 129.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 75.0
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 159 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 759.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 153 from 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 759.3
Subtract 51 from 60 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.

Moving on to step 7:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 759.35
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us with 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 8:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 759.352
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.

Advancing to step 9:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 759.3529
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:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 759.35294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 759.352941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 759.3529411
If we subtract 17 from 30, 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.

The final outcome is 759.3529411, with a leftover of 1.3e-07.
