We're dividing 481972 by 36 
Let's see how many times 36 fits into 481972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 36

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 36, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 36 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 36

Let's proceed to step 3:
36 can be fit into 121 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 108 from 121 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 36

Step 4:
When dividing 139 by 36, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 133.0
If we take 108 away from 139, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 36

Let's proceed to step 5:
36 goes into 317 8 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1338.0
If we subtract 288 from 317, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 292 / 36

On to step 6:
36 goes into 292 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13388.0
Subtract 288 from 292 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
36 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13388.1
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
36 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13388.11
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 13388.11 and a remainder of 0.004.
