Let's divide 178522 by 34
We want to divide 178522 by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 34

On to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 34

Step 3:
When dividing 178 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 170 away from 178, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 34

Advancing to step 4:
85 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 68 from 85.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 34

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 172 by 34, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 525.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 170 from 172.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 34

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 22 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5250.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5250.6
Subtracting 204 from 220 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 34, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5250.64
If we subtract 136 from 160, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5250.647
If we subtract 238 from 240, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
34 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5250.647
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5250.64705
Subtract 170 from 200 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5250.647058
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 272 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
34 can be fit into 280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5250.6470588
Subtracting 272 from 280 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.

Our division results in 5250.6470588 with a remaining 8e-08.
