We look at the division of 36144131 by 496 
We're looking to find how many times 496 goes into 36144131.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 496, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 496

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 36 by 496, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 36 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 496

On to step 3:
The number 496 fits into 361 0 times, leaving a remainder of 361.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 361, we end up with 361.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 361 and repeat the process: 3614 / 496

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 3614 by 496, we get 7 and a remainder of 142.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 3472 from 3614, we get 142.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 142 and continue: 1424 / 496

Step 5:
1424 divided by 496 is 2 with a remainder of 432.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 992 from 1424 leaves us with 432.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 432, then repeat: 4321 / 496

Advancing to step 6:
4321 divided by 496 is 8 with a remainder of 353.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtracting 3968 from 4321 leaves us with 353.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 353 and continue with: 3533 / 496

Advancing to step 7:
496 can be fit into 3533 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7287.0
Subtract 3472 from 3533 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 611 / 496

Going ahead to step 8:
496 can be fit into 611 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 115.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72871.0
Deduct 496 from 611 and we're left with 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 1150 by 496, we get 2 with a remainder of 158.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72871.2
Deduct 992 from 1150 and we're left with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1580 divided by 496 is 3 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72871.23
Subtract 1488 from 1580 to get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 920 by 496, we get 1 with a remainder of 424.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72871.231
Subtract 496 from 920 to get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 4240 by 496, we get 8 with a remainder of 272.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72871.2318
If we take 3968 away from 4240, we end up with 272.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 2720 by 496, we get 5 with a remainder of 240.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72871.23185
Subtracting 2480 from 2720 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2400 by 496, we get 4 with a remainder of 416.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72871.231854
If we subtract 1984 from 2400, we get 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
496 can be fit into 4160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 192.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72871.2318548
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 3968 from 4160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 496 fits into 1920 3 times, leaving a remainder of 432.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 72871.23185483
Deduct 1488 from 1920 and we're left with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 72871.23185483 with a balance of 4.32e-07.
