We're dividing 16970 by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 16970.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 17

Step 2:
16 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 17

Step 3:
17 goes into 169 9 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 153 from 169, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 167 9 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 153 from 167 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.0
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 6:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.2
If we subtract 34 from 40, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 998.23
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 998.235
Subtract 85 from 90 to 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.

Step 9:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.2352
Subtract 34 from 50 to get 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 10:
17 can be fit into 160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 998.23529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 998.235294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 998.2352941
Subtract 17 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.23529411
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 998.23529411 and a remainder of 1.3e-08.
