We're dividing 36883716 by 972 
We want to divide 36883716 by 972.

Going ahead to step 1:
972 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 972

On to step 2:
972 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 0 from 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 972

Going ahead to step 3:
972 can be fit into 368 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 368.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 368, we end up with 368.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 368 and continue: 3688 / 972

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 3688 by 972, we get 3 and a remainder of 772.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2916 from 3688 and we're left with 772.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 772 and continue: 7723 / 972

Advancing to step 5:
The number 972 fits into 7723 7 times, leaving a remainder of 919.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 6804 from 7723 and we're left with 919.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 919, then repeat: 9197 / 972

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 9197 by 972, we get 9 and a remainder of 449.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 379.0
The remainder is 449 after subtracting 8748 from 9197.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 449, then repeat: 4491 / 972

Going ahead to step 7:
972 goes into 4491 4 times with a remainder of 603.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3794.0
Subtracting 3888 from 4491 leaves us with 603.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 603, then repeat: 6036 / 972

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 972 fits into 6036 6 times, leaving a remainder of 204.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37946.0
Subtract 5832 from 6036 to get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
972 can be fit into 2040 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37946.2
If we subtract 1944 from 2040, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
960 divided by 972 is 0 with a remainder of 960.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37946.2
The remainder is 960 after subtracting 0 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 972 fits into 9600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 852.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37946.209
If we subtract 8748 from 9600, we get 852.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 8520 by 972, we get 8 with a remainder of 744.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37946.2098
If we subtract 7776 from 8520, we get 744.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 7440 by 972, we get 7 and a remainder of 636.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37946.20987
If we subtract 6804 from 7440, we get 636.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
972 can be fit into 6360 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 528.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37946.209876
If we take 5832 away from 6360, we end up with 528.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 5280 by 972, we get 5 with a remainder of 420.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 37946.2098765
Subtracting 4860 from 5280 leaves us with 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
972 goes into 4200 4 times with a remainder of 312.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37946.20987654
If we take 3888 away from 4200, we end up with 312.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 37946.20987654 and a remainder of 3.12e-07.
