We divide 257242 by 37
We want to divide 257242 by 37.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 37, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 37

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 37, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 37

Let's proceed to step 3:
37 goes into 257 6 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 222 from 257.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
37 can be fit into 352 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 333 from 352.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 194 / 37

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 194 by 37, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 695.0
Deduct 185 from 194 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 37

On to step 6:
If we divide 92 by 37, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.0
If we take 74 away from 92, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
37 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.4
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 148 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 37, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6952.48
Deduct 296 from 320 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 37, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.486
If we subtract 222 from 240, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 37 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6952.4864
If we take 148 away from 180, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
37 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.48648
Subtract 296 from 320 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
37 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6952.486486
Deduct 222 from 240 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
37 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.4864864
Subtracting 148 from 180 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
37 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6952.48648648
If we take 296 away from 320, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6952.48648648, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
