Let's divide 24542 by 34
Our goal is to divide 24542 by 34.

Moving on to step 1:
34 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 245 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
34 goes into 245 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 238 from 245 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 34

On to step 4:
If we divide 74 by 34, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 68 away from 74, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 62 / 34

Step 5:
34 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 721.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 34 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
280 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 721.8
Deduct 272 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 34, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 721.82
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 34, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 721.823
Deduct 102 from 120 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
34 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 721.8235
Subtracting 170 from 180 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
34 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 721.82352
Deduct 68 from 100 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 34, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 721.823529
If we take 306 away from 320, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
140 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 721.8235294
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
34 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 721.82352941
If we take 34 away from 40, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 721.82352941 with a remaining 6e-09.
