We divide 17004989 by 279
We want to divide 17004989 by 279.

Moving on to step 1:
279 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 279

Moving on to step 2:
17 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 279

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 170 by 279, we get 0 and a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 170, we get 170.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 170 and repeat the process: 1700 / 279

Step 4:
The number 279 fits into 1700 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 1674 from 1700 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 279

Step 5:
When dividing 264 by 279, we get 0 with a remainder of 264.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 264, we get 264.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 264 and repeat the process: 2649 / 279

Advancing to step 6:
The number 279 fits into 2649 9 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 609.0
Subtracting 2511 from 2649 leaves us with 138.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 138, then carry on: 1388 / 279

Let's proceed to step 7:
279 goes into 1388 4 times with a remainder of 272.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6094.0
Subtracting 1116 from 1388 leaves us with 272.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 272 and repeat the process: 2729 / 279

Going ahead to step 8:
2729 divided by 279 is 9 with a remainder of 218.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60949.0
If we subtract 2511 from 2729, we get 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
279 goes into 2180 7 times with a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60949.7
The remainder is 227 after subtracting 1953 from 2180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 2270 by 279, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 60949.78
Subtract 2232 from 2270 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 279, we get 1 and a remainder of 101.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60949.781
Subtract 279 from 380 to get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
279 can be fit into 1010 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 173.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60949.7813
Subtracting 837 from 1010 leaves us with 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 279 fits into 1730 6 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60949.78136
Subtract 1674 from 1730 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 279, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60949.781362
Subtract 558 from 560 to get 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 15:
279 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60949.781362
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
200 divided by 279 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60949.781362
If we subtract 0 from 200, we get 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Our division results in 60949.781362 with a remaining 2e-07.
