We're dividing 138929 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 138929 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 13 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 136 from 138 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 29 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we take 17 away from 29, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 can be fit into 122 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 817.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 119 from 122.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 39 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8172.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 34 from 39.
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 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8172.2
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 8:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8172.29
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 9:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8172.294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8172.2941
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8172.29411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8172.29411 with a remaining 1.3e-05.
