Let's divide 878960 by 34
We want to divide 878960 by 34.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 68 from 87 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 34

Let's proceed to step 3:
198 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 170 away from 198, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 289 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
34 goes into 289 8 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 258.0
If we take 272 away from 289, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 34

Step 5:
34 goes into 176 5 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2585.0
If we subtract 170 from 176, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 34

Step 6:
34 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25851.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 34 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 260 by 34, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25851.7
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 238 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 34 fits into 220 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25851.76
If we subtract 204 from 220, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 25851.764
Subtract 136 from 160 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25851.7647
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.

On to step 11:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25851.7647
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 200 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25851.764705
Deduct 170 from 200 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
34 can be fit into 300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25851.7647058
Subtract 272 from 300 to get 28.
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 14:
280 divided by 34 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25851.76470588
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 272 from 280.
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 25851.76470588 with a remaining 8e-09.
