Let's divide 33021978 by 587
We're looking to find how many times 587 goes into 33021978.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 587 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 587

Moving on to step 2:
587 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 33 and we're left with 33.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 330 / 587

On to step 3:
The number 587 fits into 330 0 times, leaving a remainder of 330.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 330, we end up with 330.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 330 and continue: 3302 / 587

Step 4:
The number 587 fits into 3302 5 times, leaving a remainder of 367.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 2935 away from 3302, we end up with 367.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 367 and continue with: 3671 / 587

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 3671 by 587, we get 6 with a remainder of 149.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 149 after subtracting 3522 from 3671.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1499 / 587

Advancing to step 6:
587 can be fit into 1499 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 325.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 562.0
The remainder is 325 after subtracting 1174 from 1499.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 325 and continue with: 3257 / 587

Advancing to step 7:
587 goes into 3257 5 times with a remainder of 322.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5625.0
If we subtract 2935 from 3257, we get 322.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 322, then repeat: 3228 / 587

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 3228 by 587, we get 5 and a remainder of 293.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56255.0
If we take 2935 away from 3228, we end up with 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2930, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
587 goes into 2930 4 times with a remainder of 582.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56255.4
If we subtract 2348 from 2930, we get 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 5820 by 587, we get 9 with a remainder of 537.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56255.49
Subtracting 5283 from 5820 leaves us with 537.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5370, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 5370 by 587, we get 9 and a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 56255.499
Subtracting 5283 from 5370 leaves us with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 56255.499 and a remainder of 0.0087.
