Let's divide 42398 by 36
We want to figure out the number of times 42398 can be divided by 36.

Advancing to step 1:
36 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 goes into 42 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 36 from 42.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 36

On to step 3:
36 can be fit into 63 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 36 from 63, we get 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 36

Step 4:
When dividing 279 by 36, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 252 from 279, we get 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 36

Going ahead to step 5:
36 can be fit into 278 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1177.0
Subtract 252 from 278 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
36 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1177.7
If we subtract 252 from 260, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
36 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1177.72
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
80 divided by 36 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1177.722
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1177.722 with a balance of 0.0008.
