987860 ÷ 36 
We want to figure out the number of times 987860 can be divided by 36.

Going ahead to step 1:
36 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 36

Moving on to step 2:
36 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 72 from 98, we get 26.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 267 / 36

Moving on to step 3:
36 goes into 267 7 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 252 from 267, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 36

On to step 4:
The number 36 fits into 158 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
Subtracting 144 from 158 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 146 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2744.0
Deduct 144 from 146 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 36

Let's proceed to step 6:
36 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27440.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 36, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27440.5
Deduct 180 from 200 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 36 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27440.55
If we subtract 180 from 200, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27440.55 with a remaining 0.02.
