We divide 796789 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 796789.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 79 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 68 from 79 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 116 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 102 from 116 to get 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 can be fit into 147 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 468.0
If we take 136 away from 147, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 118 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4686.0
Deduct 102 from 118 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 17

On to step 6:
169 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46869.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 153 from 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46869.9
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up with 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 8:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46869.94
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 46869.941
If we subtract 17 from 20, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 46869.9411
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 46869.9411 with a balance of 0.00013.
