We look at the division of 542880 by 37 
We want to divide 542880 by 37.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 37, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 37

Moving on to step 2:
The number 37 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 37 from 54, we get 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 37

Advancing to step 3:
37 goes into 172 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 148 from 172 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 248 / 37

Let's proceed to step 4:
248 divided by 37 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we take 222 away from 248, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 37

On to step 5:
The number 37 fits into 268 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1467.0
Deduct 259 from 268 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 90 / 37

On to step 6:
37 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14672.0
If we take 74 away from 90, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 37, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14672.4
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 120 by 37, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14672.43
If we subtract 111 from 120, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 90 by 37, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14672.432
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 74 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
37 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14672.4324
Subtract 148 from 160 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 120 by 37, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14672.43243
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 111 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
37 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14672.432432
If we subtract 74 from 90, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
160 divided by 37 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14672.4324324
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 148 from 160.
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 14:
If we divide 120 by 37, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14672.43243243
If we subtract 111 from 120, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 14672.43243243, with a leftover of 9e-09.
