868871 ÷ 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 868871 can be divided by 36.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 36 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 36

Moving on to step 2:
36 goes into 86 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 72 from 86 to get 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 148 by 36, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 36

Advancing to step 4:
36 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 36 from 48 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
127 divided by 36 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2413.0
If we subtract 108 from 127, we get 19.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 191 / 36

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 191 by 36, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24135.0
Subtract 180 from 191 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
110 divided by 36 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24135.3
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 36 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24135.3
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
36 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24135.305
If we take 180 away from 200, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
36 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24135.3055
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 180 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24135.3055 with a balance of 0.0002.
