Let's divide 286733 by 17
Our goal is to divide 286733 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 28 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 can be fit into 116 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 102 from 116.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 147 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 147 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we take 136 away from 147, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 113 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1686.0
Deduct 102 from 113 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 113 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16866.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 102 from 113.
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 next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16866.6
Subtracting 102 from 110 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16866.64
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16866.647
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16866.647
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16866.64705
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 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:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16866.647058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16866.6470588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 16866.6470588 with a remainder of 4e-08.
