We look at the division of 20724 by 34 
Our goal is to divide 20724 by 34.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
34 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 207 / 34

Let's proceed to step 3:
34 can be fit into 207 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 204 from 207 to get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
34 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 324 / 34

Moving on to step 5:
34 can be fit into 324 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 609.0
Deduct 306 from 324 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 6:
34 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 609.5
Subtract 170 from 180 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 609.52
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 68 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
320 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 609.529
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 306 from 320.
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 9:
When dividing 140 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 609.5294
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
40 divided by 34 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 609.52941
Subtracting 34 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 34 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 609.529411
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.

After the division, we end up with 609.529411 and a remainder of 2.6e-06.
