We look at the division of 271479 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 271479 by 17.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 17

On to step 2:
17 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 27 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 101 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 85 from 101, we get 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 17

On to step 4:
When dividing 164 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 153 away from 164, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 117 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1596.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 102 from 117.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 159 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15969.0
If we take 153 away from 159, we end up 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 7:
60 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15969.3
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15969.35
Subtract 85 from 90 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15969.352
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15969.3529
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15969.35294
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15969.352941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15969.3529411
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15969.3529411 with a balance of 1.3e-07.
