Let's divide 457844 by 37
We want to divide 457844 by 37.

Step 1:
The number 37 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 37

Moving on to step 2:
37 can be fit into 45 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 37 away from 45, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 37

Step 3:
The number 37 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 74 away from 87, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 37

On to step 4:
If we divide 138 by 37, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we take 111 away from 138, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 37

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 274 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1237.0
Subtracting 259 from 274 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 37

Moving on to step 6:
37 can be fit into 154 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12374.0
If we subtract 148 from 154, 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 7:
37 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12374.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 37, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12374.16
Subtracting 222 from 230 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 37, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12374.162
If we take 74 away from 80, we end up 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 10:
When dividing 60 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12374.1621
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.

On to step 11:
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: 12374.16216
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 12:
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: 12374.162162
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 37, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12374.1621621
If we take 37 away from 60, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 230 by 37, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12374.16216216
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.

The final result is 12374.16216216 with a remainder of 8e-09.
