We look at the division of 35882697 by 204 
Our goal is to divide 35882697 by 204.

Let's proceed to step 1:
204 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 204

Advancing to step 2:
The number 204 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 35, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 204

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 358 by 204, we get 1 and a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 204 from 358 leaves us with 154.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 154, then repeat: 1548 / 204

Let's proceed to step 4:
204 goes into 1548 7 times with a remainder of 120.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 1428 from 1548 leaves us with 120.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 120 and repeat the process: 1202 / 204

Moving on to step 5:
204 can be fit into 1202 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 182.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 175.0
If we subtract 1020 from 1202, we get 182.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 182, then repeat: 1826 / 204

Advancing to step 6:
204 goes into 1826 8 times with a remainder of 194.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1758.0
Subtract 1632 from 1826 to get 194.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 194, then repeat: 1949 / 204

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 1949 by 204, we get 9 with a remainder of 113.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17589.0
Subtract 1836 from 1949 to get 113.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 113 and repeat the process: 1137 / 204

Let's proceed to step 8:
1137 divided by 204 is 5 with a remainder of 117.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 175895.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 1020 from 1137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1170 by 204, we get 5 with a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175895.5
If we take 1020 away from 1170, we end up with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1500 divided by 204 is 7 with a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 175895.57
Subtracting 1428 from 1500 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 720 by 204, we get 3 with a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175895.573
Subtract 612 from 720 to get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1080 divided by 204 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 175895.5735
Deduct 1020 from 1080 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
600 divided by 204 is 2 with a remainder of 192.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 175895.57352
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 408 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
204 goes into 1920 9 times with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 175895.573529
If we subtract 1836 from 1920, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
204 can be fit into 840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 175895.5735294
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 816 from 840.
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 16:
240 divided by 204 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 175895.57352941
Subtracting 204 from 240 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 175895.57352941 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
