We're dividing 55956991 by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 55956991.

On to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 51 from 55 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 49 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 34 from 49 to get 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 17

Step 4:
155 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 329.0
If we subtract 153 from 155, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
26 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291.0
If we take 17 away from 26, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 99 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32915.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 85 from 99.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 17

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 149 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 329158.0
If we take 136 away from 149, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 17

Going ahead to step 8:
17 goes into 131 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3291587.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 119 from 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
120 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3291587.7
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3291587.7
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3291587.705
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3291587.7058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we get 14.
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 13:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3291587.70588
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 3291587.70588, and the remainder is 4e-06.
