We look at the division of 982987 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 982987 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 98, we get 13.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 132 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 132 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 119 from 132 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 139 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 578.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 136 from 139.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 goes into 38 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5782.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 34 from 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57822.0
If we take 34 away from 47, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 130 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57822.7
If we take 119 away from 130, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 110 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 57822.76
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57822.764
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 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 10:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57822.7647
Subtract 119 from 120 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57822.7647
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57822.764705
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.

Moving on to step 13:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57822.7647058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
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 14:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57822.76470588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 57822.76470588 and a remainder of 4e-09.
