215731 ÷ 17 
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 215731.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 17

On to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 17 away from 21, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 45 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 34 away from 45, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
17 goes into 117 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
Subtract 102 from 117 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
153 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1269.0
If we subtract 153 from 153, we get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 17

On to step 6:
17 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12690.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12690.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12690.05
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 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 9:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12690.058
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12690.0588
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 12690.0588, and the remainder is 4e-05.
