We look at the division of 52697 by 34 
We want to divide 52697 by 34.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 34

On to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 34 from 52 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
34 can be fit into 186 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 170 from 186.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 34

Moving on to step 4:
169 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 136 from 169 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 34

Moving on to step 5:
337 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1549.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 306 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 6:
34 goes into 310 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1549.9
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 306 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
34 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1549.91
Subtract 34 from 40 to get 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 8:
If we divide 60 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1549.911
Subtract 34 from 60 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1549.911 with a remaining 0.0026.
