Let's divide 871427 by 34
We want to divide 871427 by 34.

Step 1:
8 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 34

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 34, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 68 from 87, we get 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
191 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 170 from 191 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
34 goes into 214 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtracting 204 from 214 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 102 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 102 by 34, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2563.0
If we subtract 102 from 102, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 34

On to step 6:
34 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25630.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
34 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25630.2
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 25630.2
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 34, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25630.205
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 34, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 25630.2058
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 34, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 25630.20588
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.

Our division results in 25630.20588 with a remaining 8e-06.
