We look at the division of 17240141 by 551 
We want to figure out the number of times 17240141 can be divided by 551.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 551, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 551

Step 2:
551 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 551

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 551 fits into 172 0 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 0 from 172.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 172 and repeat the process: 1724 / 551

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1724 by 551, we get 3 and a remainder of 71.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 1653 away from 1724, we end up with 71.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 710 / 551

Let's proceed to step 5:
551 can be fit into 710 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 159.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 551 from 710, we get 159.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 159, then repeat: 1591 / 551

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 551 fits into 1591 2 times, leaving a remainder of 489.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtract 1102 from 1591 to get 489.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 489, then carry on: 4894 / 551

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 4894 by 551, we get 8 with a remainder of 486.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3128.0
If we take 4408 away from 4894, we end up with 486.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 486, then carry on: 4861 / 551

Going ahead to step 8:
4861 divided by 551 is 8 with a remainder of 453.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31288.0
Subtracting 4408 from 4861 leaves us with 453.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4530, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 4530 by 551, we get 8 and a remainder of 122.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31288.8
Subtract 4408 from 4530 to get 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 551 fits into 1220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31288.82
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 1102 from 1220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
551 goes into 1180 2 times with a remainder of 78.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31288.822
If we take 1102 away from 1180, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 31288.822 and a remainder of 0.0078.
