Let's divide 540408 by 17
We want to divide 540408 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 goes into 54 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 54, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
134 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we subtract 119 from 134, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 150 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3178.0
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 148 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31788.0
Subtracting 136 from 148 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31788.7
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up 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 8:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31788.7
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31788.705
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31788.7058
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.

On to step 11:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31788.70588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
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 31788.70588 with a remainder of 4e-06.
