37988 divided by 54 
Let's see how many times 54 fits into 37988.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 54

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 54

On to step 3:
54 can be fit into 379 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 378 away from 379, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 54

Step 4:
If we divide 18 by 54, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 54

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 54 fits into 188 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 703.0
Deduct 162 from 188 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 260 by 54, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 703.4
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
440 divided by 54 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 703.48
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 703.481
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 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 9:
260 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 703.4814
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
54 can be fit into 440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 703.48148
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
54 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 703.481481
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
260 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 703.4814814
If we subtract 216 from 260, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 440 by 54, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.48148148
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 703.48148148 with a remaining 8e-09.
