We look at the division of 873442 by 34 
We want to figure out the number of times 873442 can be divided by 34.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 34

Step 2:
34 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 68 from 87 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 193 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 193 by 34, we get 5 and a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 170 from 193.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 234 / 34

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 234 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtract 204 from 234 to get 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 34

Advancing to step 5:
The number 34 fits into 304 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2568.0
Subtract 272 from 304 to get 32.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 34

On to step 6:
When dividing 322 by 34, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25689.0
If we take 306 away from 322, 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 7:
34 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25689.4
If we subtract 136 from 160, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 34, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25689.47
Deduct 238 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25689.47
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25689.4705
If we take 170 away from 200, we end up 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 11:
300 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25689.47058
Subtract 272 from 300 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
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: 25689.470588
If we subtract 272 from 280, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 25689.470588 with a balance of 8e-07.
