We're dividing 172982 by 33 
We want to divide 172982 by 33.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 33 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 33

Moving on to step 2:
33 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 33

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 172 by 33, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 165 from 172 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 33

Step 4:
33 goes into 79 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 66 away from 79, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 33

Advancing to step 5:
33 goes into 138 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 524.0
Deduct 132 from 138 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 33

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 62 by 33, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5241.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 33 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 33, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5241.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 264 from 290.
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:
The number 33 fits into 260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5241.87
If we subtract 231 from 260, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 290 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5241.878
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 264 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
260 divided by 33 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5241.8787
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 290 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5241.87878
If we take 264 away from 290, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 33 fits into 260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5241.878787
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 231 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 290 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5241.8787878
Subtract 264 from 290 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
260 divided by 33 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5241.87878787
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.
