Let's divide 305879 by 34
We want to figure out the number of times 305879 can be divided by 34.

On to step 1:
34 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
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
34 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 305 / 34

On to step 3:
305 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 272 from 305 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
338 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtract 306 from 338 to get 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
34 can be fit into 327 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 899.0
Deduct 306 from 327 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 34

Advancing to step 6:
219 divided by 34 is 6 with a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8996.0
If we take 204 away from 219, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8996.4
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
34 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8996.44
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8996.44, and the remainder is 0.004.
