We divide 217881 by 37
Our goal is to divide 217881 by 37.

Advancing to step 1:
37 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 37

On to step 2:
37 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 37

Advancing to step 3:
The number 37 fits into 217 5 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 185 away from 217, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 37

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 328 by 37, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtracting 296 from 328 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 37

Moving on to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 328 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 588.0
Deduct 296 from 328 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 321 / 37

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 321 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5888.0
Subtract 296 from 321 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 37, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5888.6
If we take 222 away from 250, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 37, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5888.67
If we subtract 259 from 280, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 37 fits into 210 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5888.675
Subtracting 185 from 210 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
37 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5888.6756
Deduct 222 from 250 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 37, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5888.67567
Subtracting 259 from 280 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
37 goes into 210 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5888.675675
If we subtract 185 from 210, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 250 by 37, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5888.6756756
Subtracting 222 from 250 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
37 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5888.67567567
Subtracting 259 from 280 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5888.67567567 with a balance of 2.1e-08.
