We're dividing 978733 by 17 
We want to divide 978733 by 17.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 can be fit into 97 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 119 from 128 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 17

Step 4:
97 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 575.0
If we take 85 away from 97, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 123 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 goes into 123 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5757.0
Deduct 119 from 123 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
17 can be fit into 43 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57572.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 34 from 43.
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:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57572.5
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57572.52
If we take 34 away from 50, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 57572.529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
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:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 57572.5294
Subtract 68 from 70 to get 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: 57572.52941
If we subtract 17 from 20, we get 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:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57572.529411
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left 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.

The final result is 57572.529411 with a remainder of 1.3e-06.
