We divide 550979 by 33
Our goal is to divide 550979 by 33.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 33 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 33

On to step 2:
55 divided by 33 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 33 away from 55, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 220 / 33

On to step 3:
33 can be fit into 220 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 198 from 220, we get 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 33

Step 4:
33 can be fit into 229 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtracting 198 from 229 leaves us with 31.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 317 / 33

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 33 fits into 317 9 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1669.0
Deduct 297 from 317 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 209 / 33

On to step 6:
When dividing 209 by 33, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16696.0
If we subtract 198 from 209, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
33 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16696.3
If we subtract 99 from 110, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 33, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16696.33
Deduct 99 from 110 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

The final result is 16696.33 with a remainder of 0.011.
