Let's divide 871679 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 871679 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
8 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 85 from 87 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 17

On to step 3:
17 can be fit into 21 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 17 from 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 can be fit into 46 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 512.0
Deduct 34 from 46 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 127 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5127.0
If we take 119 away from 127, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
89 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51275.0
Subtract 85 from 89 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.

Advancing to step 7:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51275.2
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51275.23
Subtract 51 from 60 to 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 9:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51275.235
Deduct 85 from 90 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 10:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51275.2352
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
17 can be fit into 160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51275.23529
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51275.235294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51275.2352941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51275.23529411
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left with 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 quotient of the division is 51275.23529411, and the remainder is 1.3e-08.
