We look at the division of 408978 by 37 
Our goal is to divide 408978 by 37.

On to step 1:
The number 37 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 37

On to step 2:
37 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 37 from 40 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 37

Step 3:
37 goes into 38 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 37 from 38 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 37

Advancing to step 4:
19 divided by 37 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 37

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 197 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1105.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 185 from 197.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 37

On to step 6:
When dividing 128 by 37, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11053.0
Subtract 111 from 128 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 37 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11053.4
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 148 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 37 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11053.45
Subtract 185 from 220 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
37 goes into 350 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11053.459
If we take 333 away from 350, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 37, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11053.4594
Subtracting 148 from 170 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 37 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11053.45945
If we take 185 away from 220, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
37 can be fit into 350 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11053.459459
Deduct 333 from 350 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
37 goes into 170 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11053.4594594
Deduct 148 from 170 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 37 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11053.45945945
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 185 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11053.45945945 and a remainder of 3.5e-08.
