We divide 33420978 by 749
Our goal is to divide 33420978 by 749.

On to step 1:
749 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 749

Advancing to step 2:
749 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 334 / 749

Advancing to step 3:
749 goes into 334 0 times with a remainder of 334.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 334, we end up with 334.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 334, then carry on: 3342 / 749

On to step 4:
When dividing 3342 by 749, we get 4 with a remainder of 346.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2996 from 3342 leaves us with 346.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 346, then repeat: 3460 / 749

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 3460 by 749, we get 4 with a remainder of 464.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 2996 from 3460 leaves us with 464.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 464, then repeat: 4649 / 749

Advancing to step 6:
4649 divided by 749 is 6 with a remainder of 155.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 446.0
Subtract 4494 from 4649 to get 155.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 155 and repeat the process: 1557 / 749

On to step 7:
749 goes into 1557 2 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4462.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 1498 from 1557.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 598 / 749

Step 8:
When dividing 598 by 749, we get 0 with a remainder of 598.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44620.0
Deduct 0 from 598 and we're left with 598.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 749 fits into 5980 7 times, leaving a remainder of 737.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44620.7
If we take 5243 away from 5980, we end up with 737.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7370, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 749 fits into 7370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 629.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 44620.79
Deduct 6741 from 7370 and we're left with 629.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 6290 by 749, we get 8 and a remainder of 298.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44620.798
If we subtract 5992 from 6290, we get 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
2980 divided by 749 is 3 with a remainder of 733.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44620.7983
If we subtract 2247 from 2980, we get 733.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 749 fits into 7330 9 times, leaving a remainder of 589.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44620.79839
Subtracting 6741 from 7330 leaves us with 589.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5890, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
749 can be fit into 5890 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 647.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44620.798397
Subtracting 5243 from 5890 leaves us with 647.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
749 can be fit into 6470 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 478.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44620.7983978
Subtracting 5992 from 6470 leaves us with 478.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
When dividing 4780 by 749, we get 6 with a remainder of 286.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44620.79839786
If we subtract 4494 from 4780, we get 286.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Our division results in 44620.79839786 with a remaining 2.86e-07.
