169988 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 169988 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 17

Step 2:
17 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 169 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 153 from 169 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 169 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
Deduct 153 from 169 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 168 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 999.0
If we take 153 away from 168, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 17

On to step 6:
17 goes into 158 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9999.0
Subtracting 153 from 158 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9999.2
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9999.29
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 70 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9999.294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9999.2941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9999.29411
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 9999.29411 with a remaining 1.3e-05.
