Let's divide 554852 by 34
We're looking to find how many times 34 goes into 554852.

On to step 1:
34 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 34 from 55 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 34

On to step 3:
214 divided by 34 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 204 from 214 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 34

On to step 4:
The number 34 fits into 108 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtract 102 from 108 to get 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
34 can be fit into 65 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1631.0
Subtracting 34 from 65 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 312 / 34

On to step 6:
34 goes into 312 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16319.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 306 from 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
60 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16319.1
Subtract 34 from 60 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
34 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16319.17
If we subtract 238 from 260, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
34 goes into 220 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16319.176
If we take 204 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16319.1764
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 11:
34 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16319.17647
Subtracting 238 from 240 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16319.17647
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 13:
34 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16319.1764705
Subtracting 170 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
34 can be fit into 300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16319.17647058
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 16319.17647058 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
