500542 divided by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 500542.

Step 1:
5 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 34 from 50 to get 16.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 160 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 can be fit into 160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 75 / 17

On to step 4:
17 can be fit into 75 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 294.0
Subtract 68 from 75 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 17

Step 5:
When dividing 74 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2944.0
Subtracting 68 from 74 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 62 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
62 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29443.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 51 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29443.6
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 8:
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: 29443.64
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29443.647
Subtract 119 from 120 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29443.647
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29443.64705
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29443.647058
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.

Step 13:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29443.6470588
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.

After the division, we end up with 29443.6470588 and a remainder of 4e-08.
