We divide 115917 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 115917 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
11 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 115 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 115 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 102 from 115 to get 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 17

Step 4:
When dividing 139 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
Subtracting 136 from 139 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 can be fit into 31 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 681.0
If we subtract 17 from 31, we get 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 147 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6818.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 136 from 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 110 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6818.6
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us with 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 8:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6818.64
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6818.647
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.

Step 10:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6818.647
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.

Advancing to step 11:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6818.64705
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 12:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6818.647058
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6818.6470588
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 6818.6470588 with a remaining 4e-08.
