We're dividing 878472 by 37 
We want to divide 878472 by 37.

On to step 1:
The number 37 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 37

On to step 2:
87 divided by 37 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 74 away from 87, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 37

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 37 fits into 138 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 111 from 138, we get 27.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 274 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
274 divided by 37 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 237.0
If we take 259 away from 274, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 37

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 157 by 37, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2374.0
Subtract 148 from 157 to get 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 37

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 37 fits into 92 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23742.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 74 from 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 180 by 37, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23742.4
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
320 divided by 37 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23742.48
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 37 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23742.486
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
180 divided by 37 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23742.4864
If we subtract 148 from 180, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 37, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23742.48648
Subtracting 296 from 320 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
37 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 23742.486486
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 37 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23742.4864864
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23742.48648648
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 23742.48648648, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
