We're dividing 35900 by 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 35900.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 35 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 34 from 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
19 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 17 from 19.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 17

On to step 5:
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: 2111.0
If we subtract 17 from 30, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
130 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2111.7
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 119 from 130.
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:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2111.76
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up 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.

Step 8:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2111.764
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 12.
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 9:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2111.7647
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left with 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 10:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2111.7647
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2111.764705
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2111.7647058
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 13:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2111.76470588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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 2111.76470588 with a remaining 4e-09.
