617142 divided by 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 617142 can be divided by 36.

On to step 1:
36 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 36

Step 2:
If we divide 61 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 36 from 61.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
257 divided by 36 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 252 from 257 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 36

Moving on to step 4:
36 goes into 51 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 36 from 51 to get 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
36 goes into 154 4 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1714.0
If we take 144 away from 154, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 102 / 36

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 102 by 36, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17142.0
Subtract 72 from 102 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 36, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17142.8
If we take 288 away from 300, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 36 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17142.83
Subtract 108 from 120 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 36, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17142.833
Deduct 108 from 120 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 17142.833 with a remainder of 0.0012.
