We're dividing 261285 by 36 
We're looking to find how many times 36 goes into 261285.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 261 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
36 goes into 261 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 252 from 261 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 36

On to step 4:
The number 36 fits into 92 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we take 72 away from 92, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
208 divided by 36 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 725.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 180 from 208.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 36

Step 6:
The number 36 fits into 285 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7257.0
If we subtract 252 from 285, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 36, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7257.9
Deduct 324 from 330 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7257.91
If we subtract 36 from 60, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 36, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7257.916
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 36, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7257.9166
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7257.9166 with a remaining 0.00024.
