159697 divided by 36 
We want to divide 159697 by 36.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
159 divided by 36 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 144 from 159.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 36

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 156 by 36, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 144 from 156 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 36

Step 5:
129 divided by 36 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 443.0
Subtract 108 from 129 to get 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 36

Step 6:
217 divided by 36 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4436.0
Deduct 216 from 217 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4436.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
36 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4436.02
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 72 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 36 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4436.027
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 36 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4436.0277
If we take 252 away from 280, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4436.0277, and the remainder is 0.00028.
