We're dividing 538988 by 34 
Let's see how many times 34 fits into 538988.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 34

Moving on to step 2:
53 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 34 from 53, we get 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 34

Moving on to step 3:
34 can be fit into 198 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 170 from 198.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
34 can be fit into 289 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 272 away from 289, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 34

Advancing to step 5:
178 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1585.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 170 from 178.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 34

Step 6:
34 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15852.0
Subtract 68 from 88 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
34 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15852.5
Deduct 170 from 200 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
34 goes into 300 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15852.58
If we take 272 away from 300, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
34 goes into 280 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15852.588
Subtract 272 from 280 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 15852.588, with a leftover of 0.0008.
