708946 ÷ 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 708946 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 70 / 17

On to step 2:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 17 from 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 17

On to step 4:
119 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 417.0
If we subtract 119 from 119, we get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4170.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 17

On to step 6:
If we divide 46 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 41702.0
If we take 34 away from 46, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41702.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41702.7
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.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41702.705
If we subtract 85 from 100, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41702.7058
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 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: 41702.70588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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 41702.70588 with a remaining 4e-06.
