Let's divide 678359 by 17
We want to divide 678359 by 17.

Step 1:
The number 17 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
67 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 51 from 67 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 can be fit into 168 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 153 from 168 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 goes into 153 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtracting 153 from 153 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3990.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
59 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39903.0
Subtracting 51 from 59 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39903.4
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39903.47
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39903.47
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 39903.4705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39903.47058
Subtract 136 from 150 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39903.470588
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.

The quotient of the division is 39903.470588, and the remainder is 4e-07.
