We're dividing 208983 by 34 
We want to figure out the number of times 208983 can be divided by 34.

On to step 1:
34 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 34

On to step 2:
20 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 34 fits into 208 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 204 away from 208, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 34

Advancing to step 4:
The number 34 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 34 from 49 to get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 34

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 158 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 614.0
If we subtract 136 from 158, we get 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 223 by 34, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6146.0
Subtracting 204 from 223 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
34 goes into 190 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6146.5
Deduct 170 from 190 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.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6146.55
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.

Our division results in 6146.55 with a remaining 0.03.
