We're dividing 36979122 by 401 
We're looking to find how many times 401 goes into 36979122.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 401, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 401

Moving on to step 2:
401 can be fit into 36 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 0 from 36.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 401

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 369 by 401, we get 0 with a remainder of 369.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 369, we get 369.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 369 and continue with: 3697 / 401

On to step 4:
401 can be fit into 3697 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 3609 from 3697 and we're left with 88.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 88, then repeat: 889 / 401

Step 5:
When dividing 889 by 401, we get 2 with a remainder of 87.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 92.0
If we subtract 802 from 889, we get 87.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 871 / 401

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 401 fits into 871 2 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 922.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 802 from 871.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 692 / 401

Let's proceed to step 7:
401 can be fit into 692 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 291.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9221.0
If we take 401 away from 692, we end up with 291.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 291, then carry on: 2912 / 401

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 401 fits into 2912 7 times, leaving a remainder of 105.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92217.0
Subtracting 2807 from 2912 leaves us with 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 1050 by 401, we get 2 and a remainder of 248.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 92217.2
If we take 802 away from 1050, we end up with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 401 fits into 2480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 92217.26
Subtracting 2406 from 2480 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
401 goes into 740 1 times with a remainder of 339.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 92217.261
Subtract 401 from 740 to get 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
3390 divided by 401 is 8 with a remainder of 182.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 92217.2618
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 3208 from 3390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
401 can be fit into 1820 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 216.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 92217.26184
Subtract 1604 from 1820 to get 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 401 fits into 2160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 92217.261845
If we subtract 2005 from 2160, we get 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 401 fits into 1550 3 times, leaving a remainder of 347.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 92217.2618453
If we take 1203 away from 1550, we end up with 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 401 fits into 3470 8 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 92217.26184538
If we subtract 3208 from 3470, we get 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 92217.26184538 and a remainder of 2.62e-07.
