34872 divided by 76 
We're looking to find how many times 76 goes into 34872.

Moving on to step 1:
76 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 76

Advancing to step 2:
34 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 348 / 76

On to step 3:
The number 76 fits into 348 4 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 304 away from 348, we end up with 44.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 447 / 76

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 76 fits into 447 5 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 380 from 447.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 672 / 76

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 672 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.0
Subtract 608 from 672 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 640 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 458.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 608 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 76, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.84
Subtract 304 from 320 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 76 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.842
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
76 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 458.8421
If we subtract 76 from 80, 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.

Step 10:
The number 76 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 458.8421
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
76 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.842105
If we subtract 380 from 400, 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 12:
The number 76 fits into 200 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 458.8421052
Subtract 152 from 200 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
480 divided by 76 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 458.84210526
Subtracting 456 from 480 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.

After the division, we end up with 458.84210526 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
