973979 divided by 17 
Our goal is to divide 973979 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 goes into 97 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 85 away from 97, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 goes into 123 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 119 from 123, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572.0
Subtracting 34 from 49 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5729.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 153 from 157.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57292.0
If we take 34 away from 49, we end up 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 7:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 57292.8
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57292.88
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.

Our division results in 57292.88 with a remaining 0.004.
