Let's divide 33261 by 83
We want to divide 33261 by 83.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 83 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 83

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 33 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 83

On to step 3:
When dividing 332 by 83, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 332 from 332 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 83

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 6 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 83

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 61 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 400.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 0 from 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
83 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 400.7
If we subtract 581 from 610, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
83 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 400.73
Deduct 249 from 290 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 410 by 83, we get 4 and a remainder of 78.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.734
If we subtract 332 from 410, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 780 by 83, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 400.7349
Subtracting 747 from 780 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
83 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 400.73493
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 249 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
810 divided by 83 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 400.734939
If we take 747 away from 810, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 83 fits into 630 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.7349397
If we take 581 away from 630, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 83 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.73493975
Subtracting 415 from 490 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 400.73493975 and a remainder of 7.5e-08.
