We're dividing 687221 by 37 
We want to divide 687221 by 37.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 37, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 37

Let's proceed to step 2:
37 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 37 from 68 to get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 37

Going ahead to step 3:
37 goes into 317 8 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 296 from 317 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 37

Step 4:
When dividing 212 by 37, we get 5 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtracting 185 from 212 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 37

On to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 272 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1857.0
If we take 259 away from 272, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 37

Advancing to step 6:
The number 37 fits into 131 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18573.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 111 from 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 200 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18573.5
Subtracting 185 from 200 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 150 by 37, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18573.54
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 148 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
37 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18573.54
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
37 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18573.5405
Deduct 185 from 200 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 150 by 37, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18573.54054
If we take 148 away from 150, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 37, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18573.54054
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
200 divided by 37 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18573.5405405
Subtracting 185 from 200 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
37 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18573.54054054
Subtracting 148 from 150 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 18573.54054054 with a remainder of 2e-09.
