We divide 612487 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 612487.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 61 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 51 from 61 to get 10.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 goes into 102 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 102 from 102 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 360.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3602.0
If we subtract 34 from 48, we get 14.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 147 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 11.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36028.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 136 from 147.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36028.6
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36028.64
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36028.647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36028.647
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36028.64705
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36028.647058
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36028.6470588
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.

Our division results in 36028.6470588 with a remaining 4e-08.
