We look at the division of 286971 by 36 
We want to divide 286971 by 36.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 36 is 0 with 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 286 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
36 goes into 286 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 252 from 286 to get 34.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 349 / 36

Advancing to step 4:
The number 36 fits into 349 9 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtracting 324 from 349 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 36

Let's proceed to step 5:
257 divided by 36 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 797.0
If we subtract 252 from 257, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 36

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 51 by 36, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7971.0
Subtracting 36 from 51 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
36 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7971.4
If we subtract 144 from 150, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 36, we get 1 with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7971.41
Subtracting 36 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
36 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7971.416
If we subtract 216 from 240, 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 240 by 36, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7971.4166
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 7971.4166 with a remaining 0.00024.
