We look at the division of 271987 by 37 
Our goal is to divide 271987 by 37.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 37, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 37

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 37, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 37

On to step 3:
The number 37 fits into 271 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 259 away from 271, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 37

Going ahead to step 4:
37 goes into 129 3 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 111 from 129, we get 18.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 188 / 37

On to step 5:
37 can be fit into 188 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 735.0
If we subtract 185 from 188, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 37

Step 6:
If we divide 37 by 37, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7351.0
Subtracting 37 from 37 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
37 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7351.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
37 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7351.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7351.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
