We're dividing 168731 by 34 
We want to divide 168731 by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
34 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 34

On to step 2:
34 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 34 fits into 168 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 136 from 168 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 327 by 34, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 306 from 327.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
34 goes into 213 6 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 496.0
If we subtract 204 from 213, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 34

Advancing to step 6:
91 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.0
If we take 68 away from 91, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 230 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4962.6
Deduct 204 from 230 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 260 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4962.67
Subtract 238 from 260 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4962.676
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 34 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.6764
Subtracting 136 from 160 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
34 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.67647
If we take 238 away from 240, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 34 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4962.67647
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
200 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.6764705
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
300 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4962.67647058
Deduct 272 from 300 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 4962.67647058 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
