We divide 36978859 by 282
Our goal is to divide 36978859 by 282.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 282, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 282

Step 2:
282 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 36 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 369 / 282

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 369 by 282, we get 1 with a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 282 from 369 and we're left with 87.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 877 / 282

Advancing to step 4:
877 divided by 282 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 846 from 877.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 318 / 282

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 318 by 282, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131.0
Subtract 282 from 318 to get 36.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 368 / 282

Moving on to step 6:
282 can be fit into 368 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1311.0
Subtract 282 from 368 to get 86.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 865 / 282

Advancing to step 7:
The number 282 fits into 865 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13113.0
If we take 846 away from 865, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 282

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 199 by 282, we get 0 with a remainder of 199.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 131130.0
The remainder is 199 after subtracting 0 from 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 282 fits into 1990 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 131130.7
Subtracting 1974 from 1990 leaves us with 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 10:
The number 282 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 131130.7
If we subtract 0 from 160, we get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 1600 by 282, we get 5 and a remainder of 190.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131130.705
Deduct 1410 from 1600 and we're left with 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1900 by 282, we get 6 with a remainder of 208.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131130.7056
Subtract 1692 from 1900 to get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
282 can be fit into 2080 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 106.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131130.70567
Deduct 1974 from 2080 and we're left with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1060 by 282, we get 3 and a remainder of 214.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 131130.705673
If we subtract 846 from 1060, we get 214.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 2140 by 282, we get 7 with a remainder of 166.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 131130.7056737
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 1974 from 2140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Step 16:
282 goes into 1660 5 times with a remainder of 250.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131130.70567375
Subtract 1410 from 1660 to get 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 131130.70567375 with a remaining 2.5e-07.
