We divide 33509 by 87
Our goal is to divide 33509 by 87.

Let's proceed to step 1:
87 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 87

Step 2:
When dividing 33 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 335 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
335 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 261 away from 335, we end up with 74.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 740 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 740 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 696 from 740, we get 44.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 449 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
87 can be fit into 449 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtracting 435 from 449 leaves us 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.

On to step 6:
When dividing 140 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385.1
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 87 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Step 7:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.16
Deduct 522 from 530 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.16
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
87 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385.1609
If we take 783 away from 800, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
170 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 83.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 385.16091
If we take 87 away from 170, we end up with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
830 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 385.160919
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 783 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
87 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.1609195
Deduct 435 from 470 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 87 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.16091954
Subtracting 348 from 350 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 385.16091954 and a remainder of 2e-09.
