Let's divide 159079 by 36
Let's see how many times 36 fits into 159079.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 36 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 36

Advancing to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
159 divided by 36 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 144 from 159 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 150 / 36

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 150 by 36, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 144 from 150 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 36

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 67 by 36, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 441.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 36 from 67.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 36

Step 6:
When dividing 319 by 36, we get 8 with a remainder of 31.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4418.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 288 from 319.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 36 fits into 310 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4418.8
Subtract 288 from 310 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
36 can be fit into 220 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4418.86
Subtract 216 from 220 to 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.

On to step 9:
36 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4418.861
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
36 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4418.8611
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
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 4418.8611 with a remaining 4e-05.
