We're dividing 54697 by 33 
We're looking to find how many times 33 goes into 54697.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 33, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 33

Step 2:
The number 33 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 33 from 54 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 33

Moving on to step 3:
33 goes into 216 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 198 from 216 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 33

Advancing to step 4:
189 divided by 33 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtracting 165 from 189 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 247 / 33

Step 5:
When dividing 247 by 33, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1657.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 231 from 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 33, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1657.4
If we take 132 away from 160, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 33 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1657.48
Deduct 264 from 280 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 33 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1657.484
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 33, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1657.4848
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 33, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1657.48484
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 132 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
33 goes into 280 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1657.484848
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 264 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 33 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1657.4848484
Deduct 132 from 160 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
280 divided by 33 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1657.48484848
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1657.48484848, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
