We're dividing 217318 by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 217318.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 17 away from 21, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 47 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 34 from 47 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 goes into 133 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtract 119 from 133 to get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 goes into 141 8 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1278.0
If we take 136 away from 141, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 58 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12783.0
If we take 51 away from 58, we end up 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 7:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12783.4
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12783.41
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12783.411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12783.411 with a remaining 0.0013.
