Let's divide 851587 by 34
Our goal is to divide 851587 by 34.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 34, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 34

Moving on to step 2:
34 goes into 85 2 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 68 away from 85, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 34

Moving on to step 3:
34 goes into 171 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 170 from 171.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 34

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 34 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 250.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 34

Step 5:
34 can be fit into 158 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2504.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 136 from 158.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 34

Moving on to step 6:
The number 34 fits into 227 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25046.0
If we take 204 away from 227, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 34 fits into 230 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25046.6
If we take 204 away from 230, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 34, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25046.67
Subtract 238 from 260 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 34, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25046.676
If we subtract 204 from 220, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25046.6764
Subtract 136 from 160 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
34 goes into 240 7 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25046.67647
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 238 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
20 divided by 34 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25046.67647
Deduct 0 from 20 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 13:
The number 34 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25046.6764705
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 300 by 34, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25046.67647058
Subtracting 272 from 300 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 25046.67647058 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
