642788 ÷ 36 
We want to divide 642788 by 36.

Going ahead to step 1:
36 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 36

Going ahead to step 2:
64 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 36 away from 64, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 36

Moving on to step 3:
The number 36 fits into 282 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 252 from 282 leaves us with 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 36

Going ahead to step 4:
36 can be fit into 307 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 288 from 307, we get 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 36

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 36 fits into 198 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1785.0
Deduct 180 from 198 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 36

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 188 by 36, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17855.0
If we subtract 180 from 188, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
36 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17855.2
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 36, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17855.22
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17855.22 with a balance of 0.008.
