We divide 959842 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 959842.

On to step 1:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 95 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 95 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 85 from 95.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 17

On to step 3:
109 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 102 away from 109, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 78 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 564.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 68 from 78.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 17

On to step 5:
If we divide 104 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5646.0
Deduct 102 from 104 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 17

Step 6:
If we divide 22 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 56461.0
If we subtract 17 from 22, we get 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 7:
17 can be fit into 50 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56461.2
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56461.29
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56461.294
If we take 68 away from 70, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56461.2941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56461.29411
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.

The final result is 56461.29411 with a remainder of 1.3e-05.
