We divide 33987 by 37
Our goal is to divide 33987 by 37.

Step 1:
3 divided by 37 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 33 / 37

Step 2:
37 can be fit into 33 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 0 from 33.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 339 / 37

Step 3:
The number 37 fits into 339 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 333 from 339 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 37

Step 4:
37 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we take 37 away from 68, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 37

On to step 5:
If we divide 317 by 37, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 918.0
If we take 296 away from 317, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 6:
37 goes into 210 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 918.5
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 7:
37 can be fit into 250 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 918.56
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 222 from 250.
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 8:
280 divided by 37 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 918.567
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 210 by 37, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 918.5675
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.

Step 10:
37 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 918.56756
If we subtract 222 from 250, we get 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.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 918.567567
Deduct 259 from 280 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
210 divided by 37 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 918.5675675
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.

Moving on to step 13:
37 can be fit into 250 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 918.56756756
Subtract 222 from 250 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 918.56756756 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
