Let's divide 489683 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 489683 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 34 from 48 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
17 goes into 149 8 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 136 from 149 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
136 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288.0
If we take 136 away from 136, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 17

On to step 5:
17 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2880.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 83 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 can be fit into 83 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28804.0
If we subtract 68 from 83, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28804.8
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28804.88
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 28804.88 with a remaining 0.004.
