987868 divided by 36 
We want to divide 987868 by 36.

Let's proceed to step 1:
36 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 72 from 98 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 36

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 36 fits into 267 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 252 from 267, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 36

Step 4:
36 can be fit into 158 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 144 away from 158, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 36

On to step 5:
36 goes into 146 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2744.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 144 from 146.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 36

Advancing to step 6:
28 divided by 36 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27440.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 280 by 36, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27440.7
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 280 by 36, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27440.77
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 252 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27440.77 with a remaining 0.028.
