We divide 33972038 by 287
We want to divide 33972038 by 287.

Step 1:
287 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 287

Advancing to step 2:
33 divided by 287 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 33, we get 33.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 287

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 339 by 287, we get 1 and a remainder of 52.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 287 away from 339, we end up with 52.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 287

Moving on to step 4:
527 divided by 287 is 1 with a remainder of 240.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 287 away from 527, we end up with 240.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 240 and continue with: 2402 / 287

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2402 by 287, we get 8 and a remainder of 106.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 2296 from 2402, we get 106.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 106, then carry on: 1060 / 287

Advancing to step 6:
1060 divided by 287 is 3 with a remainder of 199.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1183.0
The remainder is 199 after subtracting 861 from 1060.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 199, then carry on: 1993 / 287

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1993 by 287, we get 6 and a remainder of 271.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11836.0
Deduct 1722 from 1993 and we're left with 271.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 271, then repeat: 2718 / 287

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 2718 by 287, we get 9 and a remainder of 135.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118369.0
Subtracting 2583 from 2718 leaves us with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
287 goes into 1350 4 times with a remainder of 202.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 118369.4
Subtract 1148 from 1350 to get 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2020, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
287 can be fit into 2020 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118369.47
Subtracting 2009 from 2020 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 110 by 287, we get 0 and a remainder of 110.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118369.47
Subtracting 0 from 110 leaves us with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
287 can be fit into 1100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 239.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118369.4703
Subtracting 861 from 1100 leaves us with 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
287 goes into 2390 8 times with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118369.47038
Deduct 2296 from 2390 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
287 goes into 940 3 times with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118369.470383
If we subtract 861 from 940, we get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 287 fits into 790 2 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118369.4703832
If we take 574 away from 790, we end up with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 287 fits into 2160 7 times, leaving a remainder of 151.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118369.47038327
Subtract 2009 from 2160 to get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 118369.47038327 with a balance of 1.51e-07.
