989942 divided by 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 989942 can be divided by 36.

On to step 1:
The number 36 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 36

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
Subtract 72 from 98 to get 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
36 goes into 269 7 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 252 from 269 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 36

Let's proceed to step 4:
36 goes into 179 4 times with a remainder of 35.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274.0
Subtract 144 from 179 to get 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 36

On to step 5:
When dividing 354 by 36, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2749.0
If we take 324 away from 354, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 36

On to step 6:
When dividing 302 by 36, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27498.0
Subtract 288 from 302 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 36, we get 3 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27498.3
Deduct 108 from 140 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 36, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27498.38
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 36 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 27498.388
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 27498.388 and a remainder of 0.0032.
