Let's divide 314861 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 314861 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
3 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 31 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 17 from 31, we get 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
17 can be fit into 144 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 136 away from 144, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 17

Step 4:
The number 17 fits into 88 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we take 85 away from 88, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 36 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1852.0
Subtracting 34 from 36 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 17

On to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18521.0
Subtracting 17 from 21 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18521.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 34 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18521.23
Subtract 51 from 60 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 90 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18521.235
If we take 85 away from 90, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18521.2352
Subtract 34 from 50 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18521.23529
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18521.235294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
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 13:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18521.2352941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18521.23529411
Subtract 17 from 30 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 18521.23529411 with a balance of 1.3e-08.
