We do the long division for dividing 998 by 37

color(white)(Xxxxxx)2 color(white)(X)6
color(white)(xx) 37| bar(9color(white)(x)9color(white)(x)8
color(white)(xxxxx)ul(7color(white)("x)4)color(red)(darr
color(white)(xxxxx)2color(white)(x)5 color(white)(x) "8"
color(white)(xxxxx)ul(2color(white)(x)2color(white)(x)2)
color(white)(xxxxxxx)3color(white)(x)6

and hence

we get a remainder of 36 when we divide 998 by 37.

We can also write it as 998=37xx26+36
