We look at the division of 242861 by 33 
We're looking to find how many times 33 goes into 242861.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 33 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 33

On to step 2:
24 divided by 33 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 33

Moving on to step 3:
33 goes into 242 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 231 away from 242, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 33

Moving on to step 4:
33 can be fit into 118 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 99 from 118.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 33

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 196 by 33, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 735.0
Subtracting 165 from 196 leaves us with 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 33

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 33 fits into 311 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7359.0
Deduct 297 from 311 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
33 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7359.4
Deduct 132 from 140 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
33 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7359.42
Subtract 66 from 80 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
33 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7359.424
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 132 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 33 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7359.4242
Subtracting 66 from 80 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
33 goes into 140 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7359.42424
Subtract 132 from 140 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
33 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7359.424242
If we subtract 66 from 80, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
33 can be fit into 140 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7359.4242424
Subtracting 132 from 140 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 33, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7359.42424242
Deduct 66 from 80 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7359.42424242, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
