We divide 493896 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 493896 can be divided by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 34 from 49, we get 15.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 153 / 17

Step 3:
153 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 153 from 153 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
8 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 290.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 17

On to step 5:
89 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2905.0
Subtracting 85 from 89 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 17

On to step 6:
If we divide 46 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29052.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 34 from 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
120 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29052.7
If we subtract 119 from 120, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29052.7
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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 9:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29052.705
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29052.7058
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29052.70588
If we subtract 136 from 140, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 29052.70588 with a balance of 4e-06.
