We divide 491543 by 17
Our goal is to divide 491543 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 17

Step 2:
17 can be fit into 49 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 34 away from 49, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 17

Step 3:
When dividing 151 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 136 away from 151, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 155 / 17

On to step 4:
155 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 289.0
Deduct 153 from 155 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
24 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2891.0
Deduct 17 from 24 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 17

Step 6:
The number 17 fits into 73 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28914.0
Deduct 68 from 73 and we're left with 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 7:
When dividing 50 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 28914.2
If we subtract 34 from 50, we get 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 8:
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: 28914.29
Deduct 153 from 160 and we're left with 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 9:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28914.294
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28914.2941
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28914.29411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 28914.29411 and a remainder of 1.3e-05.
