Let's divide 33881 by 53
We want to divide 33881 by 53.

Let's proceed to step 1:
53 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 53

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 33 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 33, we end up with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 53

On to step 3:
53 can be fit into 338 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 318 from 338 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 53

Step 4:
When dividing 208 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 159 from 208 leaves us with 49.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 491 / 53

Let's proceed to step 5:
491 divided by 53 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.0
Deduct 477 from 491 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
140 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 639.2
If we take 106 away from 140, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
53 goes into 340 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.26
Subtract 318 from 340 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 220 by 53, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 639.264
Subtract 212 from 220 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 53 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.2641
Deduct 53 from 80 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
53 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 639.26415
If we take 265 away from 270, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 53, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 639.26415
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 500 by 53, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 639.2641509
If we take 477 away from 500, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
230 divided by 53 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 639.26415094
If we take 212 away from 230, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 639.26415094, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
