37987 divided by 79 
We want to divide 37987 by 79.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
79 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 379 4 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 316 from 379.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 638 / 79

On to step 4:
638 divided by 79 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 632 from 638 to get 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 79 fits into 67 0 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we subtract 0 from 67, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
79 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480.8
Deduct 632 from 670 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.84
Subtracting 316 from 380 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 can be fit into 640 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 480.848
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 632 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 79, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 480.8481
Subtracting 79 from 80 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480.8481
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
79 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 480.848101
If we take 79 away from 100, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 210 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 52.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480.8481012
If we subtract 158 from 210, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
79 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 480.84810126
If we subtract 474 from 520, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 480.84810126 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
