We divide 37974317 by 685
Our goal is to divide 37974317 by 685.

Step 1:
The number 685 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 685

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 685, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 685

On to step 3:
685 goes into 379 0 times with a remainder of 379.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 379, we get 379.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 379, then carry on: 3797 / 685

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 685 fits into 3797 5 times, leaving a remainder of 372.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 3425 from 3797, we get 372.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 372, then repeat: 3724 / 685

Advancing to step 5:
The number 685 fits into 3724 5 times, leaving a remainder of 299.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 299 after subtracting 3425 from 3724.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 299 and continue: 2993 / 685

Advancing to step 6:
2993 divided by 685 is 4 with a remainder of 253.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 554.0
Deduct 2740 from 2993 and we're left with 253.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 253 and continue with: 2531 / 685

Going ahead to step 7:
685 goes into 2531 3 times with a remainder of 476.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5543.0
If we take 2055 away from 2531, we end up with 476.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 476, then repeat: 4767 / 685

Advancing to step 8:
4767 divided by 685 is 6 with a remainder of 657.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55436.0
The remainder is 657 after subtracting 4110 from 4767.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6570, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
685 can be fit into 6570 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 405.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 55436.9
Subtract 6165 from 6570 to get 405.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 4050 by 685, we get 5 with a remainder of 625.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55436.95
If we take 3425 away from 4050, we end up with 625.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 6250 by 685, we get 9 with a remainder of 85.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55436.959
Subtracting 6165 from 6250 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
685 can be fit into 850 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55436.9591
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 685 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
685 can be fit into 1650 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 280.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55436.95912
Subtract 1370 from 1650 to get 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
2800 divided by 685 is 4 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55436.959124
Subtracting 2740 from 2800 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 600 by 685, we get 0 with a remainder of 600.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55436.959124
Subtracting 0 from 600 leaves us with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 685 fits into 6000 8 times, leaving a remainder of 520.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55436.95912408
If we take 5480 away from 6000, we end up with 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55436.95912408 with a remaining 5.2e-07.
