We divide 3697486 by 987
Our goal is to divide 3697486 by 987.

Step 1:
The number 987 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 987

Step 2:
When dividing 36 by 987, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 987

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 987 fits into 369 0 times, leaving a remainder of 369.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 369 to get 369.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 369 and repeat the process: 3697 / 987

Step 4:
If we divide 3697 by 987, we get 3 and a remainder of 736.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 2961 from 3697 to get 736.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 736 and continue with: 7364 / 987

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 987 fits into 7364 7 times, leaving a remainder of 455.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 455 after subtracting 6909 from 7364.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 455 and continue: 4558 / 987

Going ahead to step 6:
987 goes into 4558 4 times with a remainder of 610.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 374.0
Subtract 3948 from 4558 to get 610.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 610, then carry on: 6106 / 987

On to step 7:
987 can be fit into 6106 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 184.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3746.0
The remainder is 184 after subtracting 5922 from 6106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
1840 divided by 987 is 1 with a remainder of 853.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3746.1
Subtracting 987 from 1840 leaves us with 853.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8530, and continue the process.

Step 9:
8530 divided by 987 is 8 with a remainder of 634.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3746.18
The remainder is 634 after subtracting 7896 from 8530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
987 can be fit into 6340 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 418.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3746.186
Deduct 5922 from 6340 and we're left with 418.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
4180 divided by 987 is 4 with a remainder of 232.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3746.1864
Subtracting 3948 from 4180 leaves us with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 2320 by 987, we get 2 and a remainder of 346.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3746.18642
The remainder is 346 after subtracting 1974 from 2320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
987 can be fit into 3460 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 499.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3746.186423
The remainder is 499 after subtracting 2961 from 3460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4990, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 4990 by 987, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3746.1864235
Subtracting 4935 from 4990 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
550 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 550.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3746.1864235
The remainder is 550 after subtracting 0 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5500, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3746.1864235 with a remaining 5.5e-07.
