We're dividing 281288 by 33 
We want to figure out the number of times 281288 can be divided by 33.

Step 1:
2 divided by 33 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 33

Step 2:
When dividing 28 by 33, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 33

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 281 by 33, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 264 away from 281, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 33

On to step 4:
If we divide 172 by 33, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Subtracting 165 from 172 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 33

Moving on to step 5:
The number 33 fits into 78 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 852.0
If we subtract 66 from 78, we get 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 33

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 33 fits into 128 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8523.0
Subtracting 99 from 128 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
33 goes into 290 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8523.8
Subtracting 264 from 290 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 33, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8523.87
Subtracting 231 from 260 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 290 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8523.878
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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 8523.8787
Subtract 231 from 260 to 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 11:
290 divided by 33 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8523.87878
Deduct 264 from 290 and we're left 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:
33 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8523.878787
Subtract 231 from 260 to 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 290 by 33, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8523.8787878
Subtracting 264 from 290 leaves us 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.

Going ahead 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: 8523.87878787
If we take 231 away from 260, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 8523.87878787, with a leftover of 2.9e-08.
