We're dividing 491878 by 33 
Our goal is to divide 491878 by 33.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 33 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 33

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 33, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 33 from 49 to get 16.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 161 / 33

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 33, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 132 from 161 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 33

On to step 4:
If we divide 298 by 33, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtracting 297 from 298 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 33

Advancing to step 5:
33 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1490.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 33

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 178 by 33, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14905.0
If we subtract 165 from 178, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 33, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14905.3
Subtracting 99 from 130 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 310 by 33, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14905.39
Deduct 297 from 310 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
130 divided by 33 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14905.393
If we subtract 99 from 130, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 310 by 33, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14905.3939
Subtracting 297 from 310 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 130 by 33, we get 3 and a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14905.39393
Subtract 99 from 130 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 310 by 33, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14905.393939
Subtracting 297 from 310 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 13:
33 goes into 130 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14905.3939393
If we subtract 99 from 130, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 310 by 33, we get 9 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 14905.39393939
Subtract 297 from 310 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 14905.39393939, with a leftover of 1.3e-08.
