242537 divided by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 242537 can be divided by 17.

On to step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 goes into 24 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 17 from 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 72 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 68 from 72 to get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 45 2 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
Subtracting 34 from 45 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 113 / 17

Step 5:
17 goes into 113 6 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1426.0
If we subtract 102 from 113, we get 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 117 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14266.0
If we take 102 away from 117, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14266.8
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14266.88
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14266.88 with a remaining 0.004.
