We look at the division of 17971217 by 545 
We want to figure out the number of times 17971217 can be divided by 545.

Advancing to step 1:
545 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 545

Let's proceed to step 2:
545 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 545

Step 3:
When dividing 179 by 545, we get 0 with a remainder of 179.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 179 to get 179.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 179 and repeat the process: 1797 / 545

On to step 4:
545 can be fit into 1797 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 162.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 1635 from 1797 and we're left with 162.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 162 and continue: 1621 / 545

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1621 by 545, we get 2 with a remainder of 531.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 1090 from 1621 to get 531.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 531, then repeat: 5312 / 545

Step 6:
When dividing 5312 by 545, we get 9 with a remainder of 407.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 329.0
If we take 4905 away from 5312, we end up with 407.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 407, then repeat: 4071 / 545

Let's proceed to step 7:
545 goes into 4071 7 times with a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3297.0
Subtract 3815 from 4071 to get 256.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 256, then repeat: 2567 / 545

Step 8:
545 can be fit into 2567 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 387.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32974.0
Subtracting 2180 from 2567 leaves us with 387.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 545 fits into 3870 7 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32974.7
Subtract 3815 from 3870 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
545 can be fit into 550 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32974.71
Deduct 545 from 550 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 545, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32974.71
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
500 divided by 545 is 0 with a remainder of 500.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32974.71
Subtracting 0 from 500 leaves us with 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 32974.71 with a remaining 0.005.
