We divide 36887676 by 872
We want to figure out the number of times 36887676 can be divided by 872.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 872

Advancing to step 2:
36 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 36.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 368 / 872

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 368 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 368.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 368 leaves us with 368.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 368, then carry on: 3688 / 872

Moving on to step 4:
3688 divided by 872 is 4 with a remainder of 200.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3488 from 3688 leaves us with 200.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 200 and repeat the process: 2007 / 872

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 2007 by 872, we get 2 and a remainder of 263.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 1744 from 2007 to get 263.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 263 and continue: 2636 / 872

Going ahead to step 6:
872 goes into 2636 3 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 423.0
Deduct 2616 from 2636 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 872

Step 7:
If we divide 207 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 207.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4230.0
Subtract 0 from 207 to get 207.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 207 and continue with: 2076 / 872

Step 8:
If we divide 2076 by 872, we get 2 and a remainder of 332.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42302.0
Deduct 1744 from 2076 and we're left with 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 3320 by 872, we get 3 and a remainder of 704.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42302.3
Subtract 2616 from 3320 to get 704.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 872 fits into 7040 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42302.38
If we subtract 6976 from 7040, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 640.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42302.38
Deduct 0 from 640 and we're left with 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 6400 by 872, we get 7 and a remainder of 296.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 42302.3807
If we take 6104 away from 6400, we end up with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Step 13:
2960 divided by 872 is 3 with a remainder of 344.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42302.38073
Subtracting 2616 from 2960 leaves us with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
872 can be fit into 3440 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 824.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42302.380733
Subtracting 2616 from 3440 leaves us with 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42302.380733 with a balance of 8.24e-05.
