We're dividing 285046 by 17 
We want to divide 285046 by 17.

On to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
17 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 28 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 115 / 17

Step 3:
17 can be fit into 115 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 102 from 115 to get 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 17

Step 4:
17 goes into 130 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we subtract 119 from 130, we get 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 114 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1676.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 102 from 114.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 126 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16767.0
Deduct 119 from 126 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16767.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16767.41
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16767.411
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.

The final result is 16767.411 with a remainder of 0.0013.
