We're dividing 539740 by 36 
Our goal is to divide 539740 by 36.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 36

Advancing to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 36 away from 53, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 36

Step 3:
36 goes into 179 4 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 36

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 357 by 36, we get 9 and a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtracting 324 from 357 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 36

On to step 5:
If we divide 334 by 36, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1499.0
If we subtract 324 from 334, we get 10.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 100 / 36

Let's proceed to step 6:
36 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14992.0
Subtracting 72 from 100 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
36 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14992.7
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 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 8:
280 divided by 36 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14992.77
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 14992.77 with a remainder of 0.028.
