We're dividing 33987 by 29 
We're looking to find how many times 29 goes into 33987.

Going ahead to step 1:
29 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 29

Advancing to step 2:
29 can be fit into 33 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 29 from 33 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 29

Going ahead to step 3:
29 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 29 from 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 29

Going ahead to step 4:
29 can be fit into 208 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
Deduct 203 from 208 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 29

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 57 by 29, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1171.0
Deduct 29 from 57 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
280 divided by 29 is 9 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1171.9
Subtract 261 from 280 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 29 fits into 190 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1171.96
Subtract 174 from 190 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
160 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1171.965
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 145 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
150 divided by 29 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1171.9655
If we subtract 145 from 150, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1171.9655, and the remainder is 5e-05.
