Let's divide 280437 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 280437.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 28 leaves us with 11.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 110 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 102 from 110 to get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 84 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we subtract 68 from 84, we get 16.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 163 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 163 9 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1649.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 153 from 163.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 107 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16496.0
If we subtract 102 from 107, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16496.2
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16496.29
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16496.294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16496.2941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16496.29411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 16496.29411, and the remainder is 1.3e-05.
