We're dividing 238857 by 33 
Our goal is to divide 238857 by 33.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 33 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 33

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 33, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 33

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 238 by 33, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 231 from 238 to get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 33

Step 4:
33 can be fit into 78 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 66 away from 78, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 33

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 125 by 33, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 723.0
Deduct 99 from 125 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 267 / 33

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 267 by 33, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7238.0
Subtracting 264 from 267 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 33, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7238.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 33, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7238.09
Deduct 297 from 300 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
33 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7238.09
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 33 fits into 300 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7238.0909
Subtracting 297 from 300 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 33 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7238.0909
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
33 goes into 300 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7238.090909
If we take 297 away from 300, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 30 by 33, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7238.090909
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
33 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7238.09090909
Subtracting 297 from 300 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7238.09090909 with a remaining 3e-09.
