We're dividing 36987539 by 146 
Our goal is to divide 36987539 by 146.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 146, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 146

Step 2:
When dividing 36 by 146, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 146

On to step 3:
The number 146 fits into 369 2 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 292 from 369 leaves us with 77.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 77, then repeat: 778 / 146

Let's proceed to step 4:
778 divided by 146 is 5 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 730 from 778.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 146

On to step 5:
When dividing 487 by 146, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 253.0
If we take 438 away from 487, we end up with 49.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 495 / 146

Moving on to step 6:
146 can be fit into 495 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2533.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 438 from 495.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 57 and continue: 573 / 146

On to step 7:
146 can be fit into 573 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 135.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25333.0
If we take 438 away from 573, we end up with 135.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 135, then repeat: 1359 / 146

On to step 8:
146 can be fit into 1359 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 253339.0
If we subtract 1314 from 1359, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 146, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 253339.3
Subtracting 438 from 450 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 146, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 253339.3
Subtract 0 from 120 to get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1200 by 146, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 253339.308
Subtracting 1168 from 1200 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.

Step 12:
146 can be fit into 320 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 253339.3082
If we subtract 292 from 320, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
280 divided by 146 is 1 with a remainder of 134.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253339.30821
Deduct 146 from 280 and we're left with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
1340 divided by 146 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253339.308219
Subtracting 1314 from 1340 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
260 divided by 146 is 1 with a remainder of 114.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 253339.3082191
Deduct 146 from 260 and we're left with 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 146 fits into 1140 7 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 253339.30821917
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 1022 from 1140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 253339.30821917 and a remainder of 1.18e-07.
