208917 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 208917 by 17.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 17

On to step 2:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 17

On to step 3:
38 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 34 from 38, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 49 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtract 34 from 49 to get 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 17

Step 5:
When dividing 151 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1228.0
If we subtract 136 from 151, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
157 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12289.0
Deduct 153 from 157 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12289.2
Deduct 34 from 40 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
17 can be fit into 60 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12289.23
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12289.235
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12289.2352
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12289.23529
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12289.235294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12289.2352941
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12289.23529411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12289.23529411, and the remainder is 1.3e-08.
