We're dividing 96984 by 34 
We want to divide 96984 by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 34

Moving on to step 2:
34 can be fit into 96 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 68 from 96, we get 28.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 289 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
289 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 272 from 289, we get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 34

On to step 4:
34 can be fit into 178 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 285.0
If we subtract 170 from 178, we get 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 84 by 34, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2852.0
If we subtract 68 from 84, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 6:
160 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2852.4
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 136 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2852.47
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2852.47
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 9:
34 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2852.4705
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 34 fits into 300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2852.47058
If we subtract 272 from 300, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 34 fits into 280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2852.470588
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 272 from 280.
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 2852.470588 with a balance of 8e-07.
