We divide 617644 by 36
Our goal is to divide 617644 by 36.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 36 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 36 from 61 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 36

On to step 3:
When dividing 257 by 36, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 252 from 257, we get 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 36

On to step 4:
56 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 171.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 36 from 56.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 36

Step 5:
36 goes into 204 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1715.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 180 from 204.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 36

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 36 fits into 244 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17156.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 216 from 244.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
36 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17156.7
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:
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: 17156.77
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 17156.77 with a remaining 0.028.
