We're dividing 171481 by 34 
We want to divide 171481 by 34.

Let's proceed to step 1:
34 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 34

On to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 34, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 171 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
34 can be fit into 171 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 170 from 171 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
34 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 34

On to step 5:
148 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 504.0
Deduct 136 from 148 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 34

Going ahead to step 6:
121 divided by 34 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5043.0
Subtracting 102 from 121 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5043.5
If we subtract 170 from 190, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
34 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5043.55
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.

After the division, we end up with 5043.55 and a remainder of 0.03.
