We're dividing 615978 by 36 
We want to divide 615978 by 36.

Going ahead to step 1:
36 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 36

On to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 61 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 36 away from 61, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
The number 36 fits into 255 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 252 from 255, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 36

Step 4:
36 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 36

Step 5:
If we divide 37 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1711.0
Deduct 36 from 37 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 36

Moving on to step 6:
36 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17110.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
180 divided by 36 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17110.5
Subtract 180 from 180 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
36 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17110.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 36 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17110.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17110.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
