Let's divide 308581 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 308581 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 17

On to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 136 from 138, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 25 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 17 from 25 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 88 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1815.0
If we subtract 85 from 88, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
31 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18151.0
Subtract 17 from 31 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18151.8
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18151.82
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 34 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18151.823
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 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 10:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18151.8235
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 50 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18151.82352
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
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 12:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18151.823529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 70 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18151.8235294
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 14:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18151.82352941
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.

Our division results in 18151.82352941 with a remaining 3e-09.
