Let's divide 973718 by 36
We're looking to find how many times 36 goes into 973718.

Going ahead to step 1:
36 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 36

Moving on to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 72 away from 97, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 36

Step 3:
36 can be fit into 253 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 252 from 253 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 36

Going ahead to step 4:
17 divided by 36 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 270.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 171 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2704.0
Subtracting 144 from 171 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 36

Step 6:
36 goes into 278 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27047.0
Deduct 252 from 278 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 36 fits into 260 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27047.7
Deduct 252 from 260 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 36, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27047.72
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 36 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27047.722
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 27047.722 and a remainder of 0.0008.
