Let's divide 462988 by 37
Our goal is to divide 462988 by 37.

Step 1:
37 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 37

Moving on to step 2:
46 divided by 37 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 37 from 46 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 37

Going ahead to step 3:
37 can be fit into 92 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 74 away from 92, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 189 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 185 from 189 to get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 37

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 48 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1251.0
Subtract 37 from 48 to get 11.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 118 / 37

Step 6:
The number 37 fits into 118 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12513.0
If we subtract 111 from 118, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12513.1
Deduct 37 from 70 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 330 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12513.18
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 296 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
37 goes into 340 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12513.189
Deduct 333 from 340 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12513.1891
Subtract 37 from 70 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 330 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12513.18918
Subtracting 296 from 330 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 37, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12513.189189
If we subtract 333 from 340, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
70 divided by 37 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12513.1891891
If we take 37 away from 70, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 330 by 37, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12513.18918918
If we take 296 away from 330, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12513.18918918, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
