Let's divide 55717 by 34
We want to figure out the number of times 55717 can be divided by 34.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 34

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 34, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 34 from 55, we get 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 34

Step 3:
If we divide 217 by 34, we get 6 and a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 204 from 217, we get 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 34

Advancing to step 4:
34 can be fit into 131 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 163.0
Subtracting 102 from 131 leaves us with 29.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 297 / 34

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 297 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1638.0
Deduct 272 from 297 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
34 goes into 250 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1638.7
Subtracting 238 from 250 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
120 divided by 34 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1638.73
Subtract 102 from 120 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
180 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1638.735
If we subtract 170 from 180, we 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.

Step 9:
100 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1638.7352
If we take 68 away from 100, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 34 fits into 320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1638.73529
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 1638.735294
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
34 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1638.7352941
If we take 34 away from 40, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 34, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1638.73529411
Subtracting 34 from 60 leaves us with 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 1638.73529411 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
