We're dividing 316979 by 36 
We're looking to find how many times 36 goes into 316979.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 36

Advancing to step 2:
36 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 316 / 36

Step 3:
If we divide 316 by 36, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 288 away from 316, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 36

Step 4:
When dividing 289 by 36, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 288 from 289 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 36

On to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 880.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 36

Step 6:
36 can be fit into 179 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8804.0
Deduct 144 from 179 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
36 can be fit into 350 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8804.9
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 324 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 36, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8804.97
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 252 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
36 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8804.972
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
36 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8804.9722
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 8804.9722 with a remainder of 8e-05.
