Let's divide 170542 by 17
Our goal is to divide 170542 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 can be fit into 17 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 17 to get 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
0 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 54 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1003.0
Subtracting 51 from 54 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 32 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10031.0
Subtracting 17 from 32 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10031.8
If we subtract 136 from 150, we 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.

On to step 8:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10031.88
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10031.88 with a balance of 0.004.
