Let's divide 36040685 by 748
We want to divide 36040685 by 748.

Advancing to step 1:
748 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 748

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 748 fits into 36 0 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 360 / 748

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 360 by 748, we get 0 with a remainder of 360.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 360 leaves us with 360.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 360 and continue with: 3604 / 748

Let's proceed to step 4:
3604 divided by 748 is 4 with a remainder of 612.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 2992 from 3604 leaves us with 612.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 612, then carry on: 6120 / 748

Advancing to step 5:
748 can be fit into 6120 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 136.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 5984 from 6120 and we're left with 136.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 136 and repeat the process: 1366 / 748

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 748 fits into 1366 1 times, leaving a remainder of 618.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 481.0
If we take 748 away from 1366, we end up with 618.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 618, then repeat: 6188 / 748

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 6188 by 748, we get 8 with a remainder of 204.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4818.0
If we subtract 5984 from 6188, we get 204.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 204, then carry on: 2045 / 748

Let's proceed to step 8:
748 goes into 2045 2 times with a remainder of 549.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48182.0
If we take 1496 away from 2045, we end up with 549.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
5490 divided by 748 is 7 with a remainder of 254.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48182.7
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 5236 from 5490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 748 fits into 2540 3 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48182.73
Subtracting 2244 from 2540 leaves us with 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
748 goes into 2960 3 times with a remainder of 716.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 48182.733
The remainder is 716 after subtracting 2244 from 2960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48182.733 with a balance of 0.0716.
