Let's divide 860991 by 17
We want to divide 860991 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 86 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 85 from 86, we get 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
109 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 506.0
If we subtract 102 from 109, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 79 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5064.0
If we take 68 away from 79, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 111 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 goes into 111 6 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50646.0
If we subtract 102 from 111, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50646.5
Deduct 85 from 90 and we're left 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 8:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50646.52
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50646.529
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 70 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 50646.5294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50646.52941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50646.529411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 50646.529411 and a remainder of 1.3e-06.
