We look at the division of 36997456 by 857 
We're looking to find how many times 857 goes into 36997456.

On to step 1:
857 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 857

Step 2:
If we divide 36 by 857, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 857

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 369 by 857, we get 0 and a remainder of 369.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 369 to get 369.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 369, then repeat: 3699 / 857

Step 4:
3699 divided by 857 is 4 with a remainder of 271.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3428 from 3699, we get 271.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 271, then repeat: 2717 / 857

Step 5:
The number 857 fits into 2717 3 times, leaving a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 2571 from 2717, we get 146.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 146, then carry on: 1464 / 857

Let's proceed to step 6:
1464 divided by 857 is 1 with a remainder of 607.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 431.0
Deduct 857 from 1464 and we're left with 607.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 607 and continue with: 6075 / 857

On to step 7:
857 goes into 6075 7 times with a remainder of 76.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4317.0
If we subtract 5999 from 6075, we get 76.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 766 / 857

Moving on to step 8:
766 divided by 857 is 0 with a remainder of 766.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43170.0
If we subtract 0 from 766, we get 766.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 7660 by 857, we get 8 with a remainder of 804.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 43170.8
Deduct 6856 from 7660 and we're left with 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 857 fits into 8040 9 times, leaving a remainder of 327.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43170.89
Subtracting 7713 from 8040 leaves us with 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
857 goes into 3270 3 times with a remainder of 699.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43170.893
If we take 2571 away from 3270, we end up with 699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6990, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
857 goes into 6990 8 times with a remainder of 134.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43170.8938
Subtracting 6856 from 6990 leaves us with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
1340 divided by 857 is 1 with a remainder of 483.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43170.89381
Deduct 857 from 1340 and we're left with 483.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4830, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
857 can be fit into 4830 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 545.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43170.893815
If we take 4285 away from 4830, we end up with 545.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5450, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 857 fits into 5450 6 times, leaving a remainder of 308.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43170.8938156
The remainder is 308 after subtracting 5142 from 5450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
857 goes into 3080 3 times with a remainder of 509.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43170.89381563
Deduct 2571 from 3080 and we're left with 509.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5090, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 43170.89381563 with a balance of 5.09e-07.
