We're dividing 216904 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 216904 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 21 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 34 away from 46, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 goes into 129 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 119 from 129, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1275.0
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 17

On to step 6:
If we divide 154 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12759.0
If we take 153 away from 154, we end up 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 7:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12759.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12759.05
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 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 9:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12759.058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12759.0588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12759.0588, and the remainder is 4e-05.
