Let's divide 254273 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 254273 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 17

On to step 2:
17 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 25 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 17

Step 3:
17 goes into 84 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 68 from 84.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 can be fit into 162 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Deduct 153 from 162 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
97 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1495.0
Subtracting 85 from 97 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
123 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14957.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 119 from 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14957.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 34 from 40.
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 8:
When dividing 60 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14957.23
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 9:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14957.235
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.

Advancing to step 10:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14957.2352
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14957.23529
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14957.235294
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14957.2352941
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 14:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14957.23529411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 14957.23529411, and the remainder is 1.3e-08.
