Let's divide 33281877 by 972
We're looking to find how many times 972 goes into 33281877.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 972

Moving on to step 2:
972 goes into 33 0 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 972

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 332 by 972, we get 0 with a remainder of 332.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 332, we end up with 332.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 332 and repeat the process: 3328 / 972

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3328 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 412.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 412 after subtracting 2916 from 3328.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 412, then repeat: 4121 / 972

On to step 5:
972 goes into 4121 4 times with a remainder of 233.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 3888 from 4121 to get 233.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 233, then repeat: 2338 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
2338 divided by 972 is 2 with a remainder of 394.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342.0
Subtract 1944 from 2338 to get 394.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 394 and continue with: 3947 / 972

Moving on to step 7:
972 can be fit into 3947 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3424.0
Deduct 3888 from 3947 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 597 / 972

On to step 8:
597 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 597.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.0
If we take 0 away from 597, we end up with 597.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5970, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
972 goes into 5970 6 times with a remainder of 138.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.6
Subtracting 5832 from 5970 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 1380 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 408.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.61
If we subtract 972 from 1380, we get 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
972 goes into 4080 4 times with a remainder of 192.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 34240.614
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 3888 from 4080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1920 by 972, we get 1 with a remainder of 948.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.6141
Deduct 972 from 1920 and we're left with 948.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 9480 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 732.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.61419
The remainder is 732 after subtracting 8748 from 9480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
7320 divided by 972 is 7 with a remainder of 516.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34240.614197
Subtracting 6804 from 7320 leaves us with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
5160 divided by 972 is 5 with a remainder of 300.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34240.6141975
Subtracting 4860 from 5160 leaves us with 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 3000 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 84.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34240.61419753
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 2916 from 3000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 34240.61419753, with a leftover of 8.4e-08.
