79988 divided by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 79988.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 17

On to step 2:
17 can be fit into 79 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 68 from 79.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 17

Step 3:
The number 17 fits into 119 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 119 from 119, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 17

On to step 4:
17 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 470.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 goes into 88 5 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4705.0
If we take 85 away from 88, 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 6:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4705.1
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 130 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4705.17
Subtracting 119 from 130 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 110 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4705.176
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up 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 9:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4705.1764
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4705.17647
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4705.17647
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.

Step 12:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4705.1764705
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4705.17647058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4705.17647058 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
