Subtract 68 from 75 to get 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 79 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13644.0
Subtract 68 from 79 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 110 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13644.6
Subtracting 102 from 110 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.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13644.64
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 9:
120 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13644.647
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13644.647
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13644.64705
If we take 85 away from 100, 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13644.647058
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.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 13644.6470588
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 13644.6470588 with a remaining 4e-08.
