We look at the division of 17317647 by 879 
We're looking to find how many times 879 goes into 17317647.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 879 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 879

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 879

Advancing to step 3:
The number 879 fits into 173 0 times, leaving a remainder of 173.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 173 leaves us with 173.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 173, then carry on: 1731 / 879

Advancing to step 4:
879 goes into 1731 1 times with a remainder of 852.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 879 from 1731 to get 852.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 852 and repeat the process: 8527 / 879

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 8527 by 879, we get 9 and a remainder of 616.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 7911 from 8527 and we're left with 616.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 616 and continue with: 6166 / 879

On to step 6:
6166 divided by 879 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 197.0
Deduct 6153 from 6166 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 879

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 134 by 879, we get 0 and a remainder of 134.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1970.0
Subtracting 0 from 134 leaves us with 134.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 134 and continue with: 1347 / 879

Step 8:
When dividing 1347 by 879, we get 1 with a remainder of 468.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19701.0
The remainder is 468 after subtracting 879 from 1347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 4680 by 879, we get 5 with a remainder of 285.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19701.5
Subtracting 4395 from 4680 leaves us with 285.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 2850 by 879, we get 3 with a remainder of 213.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19701.53
Subtract 2637 from 2850 to get 213.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2130 divided by 879 is 2 with a remainder of 372.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19701.532
Subtracting 1758 from 2130 leaves us with 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 3720 by 879, we get 4 with a remainder of 204.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 19701.5324
Subtract 3516 from 3720 to get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 2040 by 879, we get 2 with a remainder of 282.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19701.53242
The remainder is 282 after subtracting 1758 from 2040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
2820 divided by 879 is 3 with a remainder of 183.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19701.532423
If we take 2637 away from 2820, we end up with 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
879 goes into 1830 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 19701.5324232
Deduct 1758 from 1830 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 16:
879 goes into 720 0 times with a remainder of 720.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19701.5324232
The remainder is 720 after subtracting 0 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19701.5324232, with a leftover of 7.2e-07.
