We're dividing 601487 by 34 
We want to divide 601487 by 34.

Advancing to step 1:
34 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 34

On to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 34 from 60 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 34

Step 3:
The number 34 fits into 261 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 238 from 261.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 234 / 34

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 234 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176.0
Deduct 204 from 234 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 34

Advancing to step 5:
308 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1769.0
Deduct 306 from 308 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
34 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17690.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 270 7 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17690.7
Deduct 238 from 270 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.

Advancing to step 8:
320 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17690.79
Subtracting 306 from 320 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17690.794
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
34 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17690.7941
If we take 34 away from 40, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
60 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17690.79411
Subtracting 34 from 60 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17690.79411 and a remainder of 2.6e-05.
