12176854 ÷ 342 
We're looking to find how many times 342 goes into 12176854.

Moving on to step 1:
342 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 342

Step 2:
12 divided by 342 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 342

Step 3:
The number 342 fits into 121 0 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 121 and we're left with 121.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 121 and continue: 1217 / 342

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1217 by 342, we get 3 with a remainder of 191.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 1026 from 1217, we get 191.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 191, then repeat: 1916 / 342

Moving on to step 5:
The number 342 fits into 1916 5 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 1710 from 1916 and we're left with 206.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 206 and continue with: 2068 / 342

Step 6:
If we divide 2068 by 342, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 356.0
Subtracting 2052 from 2068 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 165 / 342

Going ahead to step 7:
342 can be fit into 165 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3560.0
Subtracting 0 from 165 leaves us with 165.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 165 and continue: 1654 / 342

Going ahead to step 8:
342 can be fit into 1654 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 286.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35604.0
The remainder is 286 after subtracting 1368 from 1654.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 342 fits into 2860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35604.8
If we subtract 2736 from 2860, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1240 divided by 342 is 3 with a remainder of 214.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35604.83
If we subtract 1026 from 1240, we get 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 342 fits into 2140 6 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35604.836
Subtracting 2052 from 2140 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
342 goes into 880 2 times with a remainder of 196.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35604.8362
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 684 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1960 divided by 342 is 5 with a remainder of 250.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35604.83625
Deduct 1710 from 1960 and we're left with 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
342 goes into 2500 7 times with a remainder of 106.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35604.836257
If we subtract 2394 from 2500, we get 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 1060 by 342, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35604.8362573
Subtracting 1026 from 1060 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 340 by 342, we get 0 with a remainder of 340.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35604.8362573
Subtracting 0 from 340 leaves us with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 35604.8362573 and a remainder of 3.4e-07.
