472983 ÷ 37 
We want to figure out the number of times 472983 can be divided by 37.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 37 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 37

On to step 2:
The number 37 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 37 from 47 to get 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 37

Advancing to step 3:
37 can be fit into 102 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 74 from 102.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 37

Step 4:
37 can be fit into 289 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 127.0
Deduct 259 from 289 and we're left with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 37

Moving on to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 308 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1278.0
If we subtract 296 from 308, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 123 / 37

Advancing to step 6:
37 goes into 123 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12783.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 111 from 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 37 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12783.3
Subtract 111 from 120 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
37 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12783.32
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 74 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 37 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12783.324
If we take 148 away from 160, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
120 divided by 37 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12783.3243
Subtract 111 from 120 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 11:
37 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12783.32432
Subtract 74 from 90 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
37 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12783.324324
Subtracting 148 from 160 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 37 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12783.3243243
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 111 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
90 divided by 37 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12783.32432432
Deduct 74 from 90 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12783.32432432 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
