Let's divide 210987 by 17
We want to divide 210987 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 17

Step 2:
21 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 17 from 21 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 40 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 34 from 40 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
17 goes into 69 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 68 from 69 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 can be fit into 18 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1241.0
If we subtract 17 from 18, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 17

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 17 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12411.0
If we subtract 17 from 17, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12411.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12411.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12411.0 with a balance of 0.0.
