40811298 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 40811298 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
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: 2.0
Subtract 34 from 40 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
68 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 68 from 68, we get 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 240.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 11 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2400.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 112 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
112 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24006.0
If we take 102 away from 112, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 17

Let's proceed to step 7:
109 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240066.0
Subtract 102 from 109 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 17

Let's proceed to step 8:
78 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2400664.0
Subtracting 68 from 78 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.

Step 9:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2400664.5
Subtract 85 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2400664.58
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us with 14.
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 11:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2400664.588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 2400664.588 and a remainder of 0.0004.
