$37 \div 0.2$

Step 1

Set up the division problem in long division format.

$0$

$2$

$3$

$7$

Step 2

Move the decimal the same amount of places in both numbers until the divisor is a whole number.

$2$

$3$

$7$

$0$

Step 3

Divide $3$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$

Step 4

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(1)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$

Step 5

Subtract $2$ from $3$ .

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$

Step 6

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$

Step 7

Divide $17$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$

Step 8

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(8)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$

Step 9

Subtract $16$ from $17$ .

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$

Step 10

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$

Step 11

Divide $10$ by $2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$

Step 12

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(5)$ by the divisor $2$ .

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$
	$-$	$1$	$0$

Step 13

Subtract $10$ from $10$ .

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$
	$-$	$1$	$0$
			$0$

Step 14

The result of division of $37 \div 0.2$ is $185$ .

$185$

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$
	$-$	$1$	$0$
			$0$

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$
	$-$	$1$	$0$
			$0$

	$1$	$8$	$5$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$0$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$0$
	$-$	$1$	$0$
			$0$
