We look at the division of 33983017 by 859 
We want to figure out the number of times 33983017 can be divided by 859.

Let's proceed to step 1:
859 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 859

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 33 by 859, we get 0 and a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 0 from 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 859

Moving on to step 3:
The number 859 fits into 339 0 times, leaving a remainder of 339.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 339, we get 339.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 339, then repeat: 3398 / 859

On to step 4:
The number 859 fits into 3398 3 times, leaving a remainder of 821.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 2577 away from 3398, we end up with 821.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 821, then repeat: 8213 / 859

Let's proceed to step 5:
8213 divided by 859 is 9 with a remainder of 482.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 7731 from 8213 leaves us with 482.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 482 and continue with: 4820 / 859

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 4820 by 859, we get 5 with a remainder of 525.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 395.0
The remainder is 525 after subtracting 4295 from 4820.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 525, then repeat: 5251 / 859

On to step 7:
5251 divided by 859 is 6 with a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3956.0
If we subtract 5154 from 5251, we get 97.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 977 / 859

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 859 fits into 977 1 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39561.0
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 859 from 977.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
859 can be fit into 1180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 321.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39561.1
Subtracting 859 from 1180 leaves us with 321.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3210, and continue the process.

Step 10:
3210 divided by 859 is 3 with a remainder of 633.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 39561.13
If we subtract 2577 from 3210, we get 633.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
6330 divided by 859 is 7 with a remainder of 317.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39561.137
Subtract 6013 from 6330 to get 317.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
859 can be fit into 3170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 593.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39561.1373
If we subtract 2577 from 3170, we get 593.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5930, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
859 goes into 5930 6 times with a remainder of 776.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 39561.13736
Subtracting 5154 from 5930 leaves us with 776.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7760, and continue the process.

Step 14:
7760 divided by 859 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39561.137369
Deduct 7731 from 7760 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.

Advancing to step 15:
290 divided by 859 is 0 with a remainder of 290.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39561.137369
Subtract 0 from 290 to get 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
859 goes into 2900 3 times with a remainder of 323.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39561.13736903
Subtracting 2577 from 2900 leaves us with 323.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 39561.13736903, and the remainder is 3.23e-07.
