We're dividing 556949 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 556949 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 goes into 55 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 55 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 17

Step 3:
17 can be fit into 46 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 34 from 46.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 129 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we take 119 away from 129, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 104 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3276.0
Deduct 102 from 104 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 17

On to step 6:
17 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32761.0
If we subtract 17 from 29, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32761.7
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32761.7
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32761.705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 10:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32761.7058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we 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.

On to step 11:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32761.70588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us with 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 result is 32761.70588 with a remainder of 4e-06.
