Let's divide 252538 by 36
We want to figure out the number of times 252538 can be divided by 36.

On to step 1:
The number 36 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 36

On to step 3:
252 divided by 36 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 252 away from 252, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 36

On to step 4:
36 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 36

Advancing to step 5:
36 goes into 53 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 701.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 36 from 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 36

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 178 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7014.0
Deduct 144 from 178 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
340 divided by 36 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7014.9
Deduct 324 from 340 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
36 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7014.94
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7014.944
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7014.944 with a remaining 0.0016.
