We divide 299973 by 17
Our goal is to divide 299973 by 17.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
29 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 17 from 29, we get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 129 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 119 from 129 to get 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 109 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtract 102 from 109 to get 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 17

On to step 5:
77 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1764.0
If we subtract 68 from 77, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 93 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 93 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.0
Subtracting 85 from 93 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:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17645.4
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 8:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.47
If we subtract 119 from 120, we get 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 9:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17645.47
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.4705
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17645.47058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up with 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:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17645.470588
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 outcome is 17645.470588, with a leftover of 4e-07.
