Let's divide 33157281 by 278
We want to divide 33157281 by 278.

Step 1:
278 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 278

Advancing to step 2:
278 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 33 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 331 / 278

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 331 by 278, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 278 away from 331, we end up with 53.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 535 / 278

Going ahead to step 4:
278 goes into 535 1 times with a remainder of 257.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 257 after subtracting 278 from 535.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 257, then repeat: 2577 / 278

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 2577 by 278, we get 9 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 2502 from 2577.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 752 / 278

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 752 by 278, we get 2 and a remainder of 196.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1192.0
If we subtract 556 from 752, we get 196.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 196, then repeat: 1968 / 278

Advancing to step 7:
The number 278 fits into 1968 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11927.0
Subtract 1946 from 1968 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 221 / 278

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 221 by 278, we get 0 with a remainder of 221.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119270.0
Subtracting 0 from 221 leaves us with 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 2210 by 278, we get 7 and a remainder of 264.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119270.7
Subtract 1946 from 2210 to get 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
278 can be fit into 2640 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 138.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119270.79
If we subtract 2502 from 2640, we get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1380 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 268.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119270.794
If we subtract 1112 from 1380, we get 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2680, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
278 goes into 2680 9 times with a remainder of 178.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119270.7949
Subtract 2502 from 2680 to get 178.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1780, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1780 by 278, we get 6 with a remainder of 112.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119270.79496
Deduct 1668 from 1780 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 1120 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119270.794964
Subtracting 1112 from 1120 leaves us 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 15:
278 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119270.794964
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.

Step 16:
800 divided by 278 is 2 with a remainder of 244.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 119270.79496402
Subtracting 556 from 800 leaves us with 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2440, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 119270.79496402, with a leftover of 2.44e-07.
