We're dividing 204879 by 37 
Our goal is to divide 204879 by 37.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 37 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 37

Let's proceed to step 2:
20 divided by 37 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 37

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 204 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 185 from 204 to get 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
37 can be fit into 198 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 185 from 198.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 37

On to step 5:
37 can be fit into 137 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 553.0
If we subtract 111 from 137, we get 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 37

Moving on to step 6:
The number 37 fits into 269 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5537.0
Subtracting 259 from 269 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
37 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5537.2
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 37, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5537.27
If we take 259 away from 260, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 10 by 37, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5537.27
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
100 divided by 37 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5537.2702
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 74 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
260 divided by 37 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5537.27027
Subtracting 259 from 260 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
37 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5537.27027
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
37 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5537.2702702
Subtract 74 from 100 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
37 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5537.27027027
Deduct 259 from 260 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5537.27027027 with a balance of 1e-09.
