278729 divided by 37 
We want to divide 278729 by 37.

Advancing to step 1:
37 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 37

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 37, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 37

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 37, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 259 from 278, we get 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 197 / 37

Step 4:
If we divide 197 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
Deduct 185 from 197 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 37

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 122 by 37, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 753.0
Deduct 111 from 122 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 37

Let's proceed to step 6:
37 goes into 119 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.0
Subtract 111 from 119 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 37, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7533.2
If we subtract 74 from 80, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7533.21
Subtracting 37 from 60 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 37, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7533.216
If we subtract 222 from 230, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 37, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.2162
Subtracting 74 from 80 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 37 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.21621
Subtracting 37 from 60 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
37 can be fit into 230 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7533.216216
Subtract 222 from 230 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
37 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7533.2162162
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 74 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7533.21621621
Subtract 37 from 60 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7533.21621621 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
