We look at the division of 552138 by 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 552138 can be divided by 36.

Advancing to step 1:
36 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 36 from 55, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 192 / 36

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 192 by 36, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 180 from 192.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 36

Advancing to step 4:
36 goes into 121 3 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153.0
If we subtract 108 from 121, we get 13.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 133 / 36

Step 5:
If we divide 133 by 36, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1533.0
If we subtract 108 from 133, we get 25.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 258 / 36

Advancing to step 6:
36 goes into 258 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15337.0
Subtract 252 from 258 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 36 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15337.1
Subtracting 36 from 60 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
240 divided by 36 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15337.16
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 216 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 36 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15337.166
Subtracting 216 from 240 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15337.166 with a remaining 0.0024.
