We divide 36617594 by 144
Our goal is to divide 36617594 by 144.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 144 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 144

Moving on to step 2:
36 divided by 144 is 0 with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 0 from 36.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 366 / 144

Advancing to step 3:
144 goes into 366 2 times with a remainder of 78.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 288 from 366 to get 78.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 781 / 144

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 781 by 144, we get 5 with a remainder of 61.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 720 from 781 to get 61.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 617 / 144

Step 5:
When dividing 617 by 144, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Subtracting 576 from 617 leaves us with 41.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 415 / 144

Let's proceed to step 6:
144 goes into 415 2 times with a remainder of 127.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2542.0
If we take 288 away from 415, we end up with 127.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 127, then repeat: 1279 / 144

Step 7:
The number 144 fits into 1279 8 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25428.0
The remainder is 127 after subtracting 1152 from 1279.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 127, then carry on: 1274 / 144

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1274 by 144, we get 8 with a remainder of 122.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 254288.0
If we subtract 1152 from 1274, we get 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
144 can be fit into 1220 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254288.8
If we take 1152 away from 1220, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
680 divided by 144 is 4 with a remainder of 104.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 254288.84
Deduct 576 from 680 and we're left with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
144 goes into 1040 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254288.847
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 1008 from 1040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
144 goes into 320 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254288.8472
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
144 goes into 320 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 254288.84722
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 254288.84722 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
