We divide 686503 by 17
We want to divide 686503 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 68 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
17 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 65 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 403.0
If we subtract 51 from 65, we get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 17

On to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4038.0
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
43 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 40382.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 34 from 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40382.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40382.52
If we subtract 34 from 50, we get 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:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40382.529
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40382.5294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40382.52941
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40382.529411
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 40382.529411 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
