We look at the division of 987231 by 34 
We're looking to find how many times 34 goes into 987231.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
34 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 68 away from 98, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 34

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 307 by 34, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 306 away from 307, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 34

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 12 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 290.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 123 / 34

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 123 by 34, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2903.0
If we subtract 102 from 123, we get 21.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 211 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
The number 34 fits into 211 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 29036.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 204 from 211.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29036.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
34 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29036.2
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29036.205
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 34 fits into 300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29036.2058
If we subtract 272 from 300, we get 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 11:
If we divide 280 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29036.20588
If we take 272 away from 280, we end up 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 29036.20588 and a remainder of 8e-06.
