39976 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 39976.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
39 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 34 from 39, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
59 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 51 from 59 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 87 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 235.0
Subtracting 85 from 87 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 26 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2351.0
Deduct 17 from 26 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2351.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 85 from 90.
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:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2351.52
If we take 34 away from 50, we end up 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:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2351.529
Subtract 153 from 160 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2351.5294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2351.52941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us 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 11:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2351.529411
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 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 final result is 2351.529411 with a remainder of 1.3e-06.
