Let's divide 471879 by 34
Our goal is to divide 471879 by 34.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 34 from 47, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 131 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
131 divided by 34 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 102 from 131 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 34 fits into 298 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Deduct 272 from 298 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 34

Step 5:
The number 34 fits into 267 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1387.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 238 from 267.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 34

Step 6:
The number 34 fits into 299 8 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13878.0
Subtracting 272 from 299 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 34, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13878.7
If we subtract 238 from 270, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
34 can be fit into 320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13878.79
If we subtract 306 from 320, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
34 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13878.794
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
34 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13878.7941
Subtracting 34 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 34 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13878.79411
Deduct 34 from 60 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.

The final result is 13878.79411 with a remainder of 2.6e-05.
