We divide 12538 by 34
Let's see how many times 34 fits into 12538.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 34

Step 2:
When dividing 12 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 34

On to step 3:
34 can be fit into 125 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 102 from 125, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 233 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 233 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 29.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 204 from 233, we get 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 34

Advancing to step 5:
The number 34 fits into 298 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 368.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 272 from 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 6:
260 divided by 34 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 368.7
Subtracting 238 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 220 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 368.76
Subtract 204 from 220 to 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 368.764
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 136 from 160.
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 9:
If we divide 240 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 368.7647
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.

Advancing to step 10:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 368.7647
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 34 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 368.764705
If we subtract 170 from 200, we 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 300 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 368.7647058
Subtracting 272 from 300 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 34 fits into 280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 368.76470588
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.

After the division, we end up with 368.76470588 and a remainder of 8e-09.
