We divide 586879 by 37
We want to divide 586879 by 37.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 37, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 37

Step 2:
The number 37 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 37 away from 58, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 37

Advancing to step 3:
37 can be fit into 216 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 185 from 216 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 318 / 37

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 318 by 37, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 296 away from 318, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 37

Let's proceed to step 5:
37 can be fit into 227 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1586.0
If we take 222 away from 227, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 37

On to step 6:
37 goes into 59 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15861.0
If we take 37 away from 59, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
220 divided by 37 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15861.5
Subtract 185 from 220 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 37 fits into 350 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15861.59
Subtract 333 from 350 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
37 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15861.594
Deduct 148 from 170 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 37, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15861.5945
If we take 185 away from 220, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
37 goes into 350 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15861.59459
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 333 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
37 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15861.594594
If we subtract 148 from 170, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 37, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15861.5945945
Deduct 185 from 220 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 37 fits into 350 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15861.59459459
Subtracting 333 from 350 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 15861.59459459 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
