Let's divide 543462 by 34
We want to figure out the number of times 543462 can be divided by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
34 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 34 from 54.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 203 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
34 goes into 203 5 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 170 from 203.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 334 / 34

On to step 4:
When dividing 334 by 34, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 306 from 334, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 34

On to step 5:
34 goes into 286 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 272 from 286.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 34

On to step 6:
If we divide 142 by 34, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15984.0
Deduct 136 from 142 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
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: 15984.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15984.17
Subtracting 238 from 260 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
34 can be fit into 220 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15984.176
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:
When dividing 160 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15984.1764
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 34 fits into 240 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15984.17647
If we subtract 238 from 240, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 20 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15984.17647
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15984.1764705
If we subtract 170 from 200, we get 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 14:
When dividing 300 by 34, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 15984.17647058
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.

The quotient of the division is 15984.17647058, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
