971490 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 971490 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 85 from 97 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 17

Step 3:
If we divide 121 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 119 from 121, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 17

On to step 4:
17 goes into 24 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 571.0
Deduct 17 from 24 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 79 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5714.0
If we take 68 away from 79, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 110 / 17

Step 6:
17 can be fit into 110 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57146.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57146.4
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57146.47
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57146.47
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57146.4705
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57146.47058
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57146.470588
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 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 final outcome is 57146.470588, with a leftover of 4e-07.
