We divide 538600 by 36
We want to figure out the number of times 538600 can be divided by 36.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 can be fit into 53 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 36 from 53 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 36

Step 3:
36 goes into 178 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 144 away from 178, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 36

Let's proceed to step 4:
36 goes into 346 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
If we take 324 away from 346, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 220 / 36

Step 5:
220 divided by 36 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1496.0
If we subtract 216 from 220, we get 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 36

Moving on to step 6:
36 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14961.0
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
40 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14961.1
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
36 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14961.11
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 14961.11 with a remainder of 0.004.
