Let's divide 514861 by 17
We want to divide 514861 by 17.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 51 from 51 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 17

Step 4:
When dividing 48 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 302.0
If we take 34 away from 48, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 can be fit into 146 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3028.0
Subtract 136 from 146 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
101 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30285.0
Subtract 85 from 101 to 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.

On to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30285.9
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30285.94
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.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30285.941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30285.9411
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.

The final result is 30285.9411 with a remainder of 0.00013.
