12278989 ÷ 733 
We want to figure out the number of times 12278989 can be divided by 733.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 733, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 733

Moving on to step 2:
The number 733 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 733

Let's proceed to step 3:
733 goes into 122 0 times with a remainder of 122.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 0 from 122.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 122, then repeat: 1227 / 733

Advancing to step 4:
733 can be fit into 1227 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 494.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 733 from 1227 to get 494.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 494 and continue: 4948 / 733

Step 5:
733 can be fit into 4948 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 550.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 4398 from 4948 leaves us with 550.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 550 and continue: 5509 / 733

Going ahead to step 6:
733 can be fit into 5509 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 378.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 167.0
Subtract 5131 from 5509 to get 378.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 378 and repeat the process: 3788 / 733

On to step 7:
If we divide 3788 by 733, we get 5 and a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1675.0
If we subtract 3665 from 3788, we get 123.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 123 and repeat the process: 1239 / 733

Step 8:
733 goes into 1239 1 times with a remainder of 506.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16751.0
The remainder is 506 after subtracting 733 from 1239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 5060 by 733, we get 6 and a remainder of 662.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16751.6
Deduct 4398 from 5060 and we're left with 662.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 733 fits into 6620 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16751.69
If we subtract 6597 from 6620, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 230 by 733, we get 0 with a remainder of 230.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16751.69
If we subtract 0 from 230, we get 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
2300 divided by 733 is 3 with a remainder of 101.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16751.6903
If we subtract 2199 from 2300, we get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
733 goes into 1010 1 times with a remainder of 277.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16751.69031
Subtract 733 from 1010 to get 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2770, and continue the process.

Step 14:
733 goes into 2770 3 times with a remainder of 571.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16751.690313
The remainder is 571 after subtracting 2199 from 2770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 5710 by 733, we get 7 with a remainder of 579.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16751.6903137
If we take 5131 away from 5710, we end up with 579.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
733 goes into 5790 7 times with a remainder of 659.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16751.69031377
Subtracting 5131 from 5790 leaves us with 659.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6590, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16751.69031377 with a balance of 6.59e-07.
