We divide 587839 by 34
We want to divide 587839 by 34.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 34 from 58 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 34

Step 3:
247 divided by 34 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 238 from 247 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
34 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
Deduct 68 from 98 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 303 / 34

On to step 5:
If we divide 303 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1728.0
If we subtract 272 from 303, we get 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 34

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 319 by 34, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17289.0
Subtracting 306 from 319 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
34 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17289.3
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 102 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 34, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17289.38
If we take 272 away from 280, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
34 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17289.382
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 34, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17289.3823
Deduct 102 from 120 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
34 can be fit into 180 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17289.38235
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 170 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
100 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17289.382352
Deduct 68 from 100 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 34, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17289.3823529
If we take 306 away from 320, we end up 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 14:
34 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17289.38235294
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.

After the division, we end up with 17289.38235294 and a remainder of 4e-09.
