887959 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 887959 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
17 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 88 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 85 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
37 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 34 from 37 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 can be fit into 39 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 522.0
Subtract 34 from 39 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 55 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5223.0
Deduct 51 from 55 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52232.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 34 from 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52232.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52232.88
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 52232.88 with a remaining 0.004.
