Let's divide 422847 by 17
We want to divide 422847 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
42 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 34 from 42 to get 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 17

Step 3:
82 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 68 away from 82, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
148 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 136 from 148.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
124 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2487.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 119 from 124.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 57 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24873.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 51 from 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24873.3
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 51 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24873.35
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 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24873.352
If we subtract 34 from 50, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24873.3529
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 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 11:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24873.35294
Subtract 68 from 70 to get 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 12:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24873.352941
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24873.3529411
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.

After the division, we end up with 24873.3529411 and a remainder of 1.3e-07.
