Let's divide 512817 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 512817 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 51 from 51.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
17 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 301.0
Deduct 17 from 28 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 111 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3016.0
Subtract 102 from 111 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 goes into 97 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30165.0
If we take 85 away from 97, we end up with 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 7:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30165.7
If we subtract 119 from 120, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30165.7
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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 9:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 30165.705
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30165.7058
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30165.70588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 30165.70588 with a balance of 4e-06.
