531977 ÷ 34 
Our goal is to divide 531977 by 34.

Moving on to step 1:
34 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 34

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 34 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 34 from 53 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 34

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 191 by 34, we get 5 with a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 170 from 191, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 34

Step 4:
When dividing 219 by 34, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 204 from 219.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 34

On to step 5:
The number 34 fits into 157 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1564.0
Deduct 136 from 157 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 217 / 34

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 217 by 34, we get 6 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15646.0
If we subtract 204 from 217, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 34, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15646.3
Deduct 102 from 130 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 34 fits into 280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15646.38
If we subtract 272 from 280, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
34 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15646.382
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
34 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15646.3823
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 11:
The number 34 fits into 180 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15646.38235
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 170 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
34 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15646.382352
Deduct 68 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 320 by 34, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15646.3823529
Deduct 306 from 320 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 34 fits into 140 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 15646.38235294
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.

The final result is 15646.38235294 with a remainder of 4e-09.
