We look at the division of 20617 by 36 
Our goal is to divide 20617 by 36.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 36

Moving on to step 2:
36 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 36

Step 3:
If we divide 206 by 36, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 180 from 206 to get 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 36

Step 4:
261 divided by 36 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 252 from 261 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 36

Step 5:
The number 36 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 572.0
If we take 72 away from 97, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
250 divided by 36 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 572.6
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 216 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
36 can be fit into 340 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 572.69
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 324 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
160 divided by 36 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 572.694
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 160 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 572.6944
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 572.6944, and the remainder is 0.00016.
