Let's divide 948472 by 17
We want to divide 948472 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 goes into 94 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 85 from 94 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 85 from 98 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 134 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 134 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 557.0
Deduct 119 from 134 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 157 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5579.0
Subtract 153 from 157 to get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 42 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55792.0
If we subtract 34 from 42, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 goes into 80 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55792.4
Subtracting 68 from 80 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55792.47
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55792.47
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55792.4705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 55792.47058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55792.470588
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 final result is 55792.470588 with a remainder of 4e-07.
