We're dividing 33999687 by 131 
We want to divide 33999687 by 131.

On to step 1:
The number 131 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 33 / 131

Step 2:
When dividing 33 by 131, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 339 / 131

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 131 fits into 339 2 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 262 away from 339, we end up with 77.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 779 / 131

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 779 by 131, we get 5 with a remainder of 124.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 655 away from 779, we end up with 124.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 124 and continue with: 1249 / 131

On to step 5:
131 can be fit into 1249 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtracting 1179 from 1249 leaves us with 70.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 70 and continue: 706 / 131

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 131 fits into 706 5 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2595.0
If we subtract 655 from 706, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 131

On to step 7:
The number 131 fits into 518 3 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25953.0
If we take 393 away from 518, we end up with 125.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 125 and continue with: 1257 / 131

Let's proceed to step 8:
131 can be fit into 1257 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259539.0
Subtracting 1179 from 1257 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
780 divided by 131 is 5 with a remainder of 125.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259539.5
Subtracting 655 from 780 leaves us with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 131 fits into 1250 9 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259539.59
If we take 1179 away from 1250, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
710 divided by 131 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 259539.595
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 655 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
550 divided by 131 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259539.5954
If we subtract 524 from 550, we 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 260 by 131, we get 1 with a remainder of 129.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259539.59541
If we take 131 away from 260, we end up with 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
1290 divided by 131 is 9 with a remainder of 111.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259539.595419
If we subtract 1179 from 1290, we get 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 1110 by 131, we get 8 with a remainder of 62.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259539.5954198
Deduct 1048 from 1110 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 16:
620 divided by 131 is 4 with a remainder of 96.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 259539.59541984
Subtract 524 from 620 to get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 259539.59541984 and a remainder of 9.6e-08.
