We look at the division of 6872990 by 37 
Our goal is to divide 6872990 by 37.

Going ahead to step 1:
37 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 37

Step 2:
When dividing 68 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 37 from 68 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 37

On to step 3:
When dividing 317 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 296 from 317.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 212 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we take 185 away from 212, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 37

Moving on to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 279 7 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1857.0
Deduct 259 from 279 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 209 / 37

On to step 6:
If we divide 209 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18575.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 185 from 209.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 37

Let's proceed to step 7:
37 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185756.0
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
180 divided by 37 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185756.4
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 320 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 185756.48
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 37 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185756.486
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 37, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 185756.4864
Deduct 148 from 180 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
37 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185756.48648
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
240 divided by 37 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 185756.486486
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 222 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
180 divided by 37 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 185756.4864864
If we subtract 148 from 180, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 320 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 185756.48648648
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 185756.48648648 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
