We're dividing 248587 by 17 
We want to divide 248587 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 17

On to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 24 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 17 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 can be fit into 78 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 68 from 78 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 105 / 17

Step 4:
17 goes into 105 6 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 102 from 105.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 17

On to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 38 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1462.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 34 from 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 17

On to step 6:
When dividing 47 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14622.0
Deduct 34 from 47 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14622.7
Deduct 119 from 130 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 110 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14622.76
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14622.764
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.

Step 10:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14622.7647
If we subtract 119 from 120, we get 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 11:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14622.7647
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 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 12:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14622.764705
If we subtract 85 from 100, we 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 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14622.7647058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14622.76470588
Deduct 136 from 140 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.

After the division, we end up with 14622.76470588 and a remainder of 4e-09.
