We're dividing 145981 by 33 
We want to divide 145981 by 33.

Advancing to step 1:
33 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 33

On to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 33, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 33

On to step 3:
145 divided by 33 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 132 from 145 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 33

Let's proceed to step 4:
33 can be fit into 139 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 132 from 139 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 33

On to step 5:
If we divide 78 by 33, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 442.0
If we subtract 66 from 78, we get 12.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 33

Advancing to step 6:
The number 33 fits into 121 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4423.0
Subtracting 99 from 121 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 33 fits into 220 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4423.6
Subtracting 198 from 220 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 33, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4423.66
Deduct 198 from 220 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4423.66 with a balance of 0.022.
