We look at the division of 213988 by 36 
Let's see how many times 36 fits into 213988.

Step 1:
36 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 36

On to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 36

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 213 by 36, we get 5 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 180 from 213 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 36

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 36, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 324 away from 339, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 36

Advancing to step 5:
The number 36 fits into 158 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 594.0
Deduct 144 from 158 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 36

Going ahead to step 6:
148 divided by 36 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5944.0
If we subtract 144 from 148, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
36 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5944.1
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5944.11
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.

Our division results in 5944.11 with a remaining 0.004.
