We look at the division of 878984 by 33 
We want to figure out the number of times 878984 can be divided by 33.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 33 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 33

On to step 2:
33 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 66 away from 87, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 33

Let's proceed to step 3:
218 divided by 33 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 198 away from 218, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 33

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 209 by 33, we get 6 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 266.0
If we take 198 away from 209, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 33

Going ahead to step 5:
118 divided by 33 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2663.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 99 from 118.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 194 / 33

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 194 by 33, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26635.0
Subtract 165 from 194 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 33, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26635.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 264 from 290.
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 8:
If we divide 260 by 33, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26635.87
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left 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.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26635.878
Subtract 264 from 290 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
33 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26635.8787
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 290 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26635.87878
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 264 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 33 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26635.878787
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
290 divided by 33 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26635.8787878
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.

On to step 14:
33 can be fit into 260 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26635.87878787
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 26635.87878787 and a remainder of 2.9e-08.
