Let's divide 35856578 by 971
We're looking to find how many times 971 goes into 35856578.

On to step 1:
971 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 971

Going ahead to step 2:
35 divided by 971 is 0 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 358 / 971

Step 3:
If we divide 358 by 971, we get 0 and a remainder of 358.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 358 after subtracting 0 from 358.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 358 and continue: 3585 / 971

On to step 4:
971 goes into 3585 3 times with a remainder of 672.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 2913 from 3585 and we're left with 672.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 672, then carry on: 6726 / 971

Advancing to step 5:
6726 divided by 971 is 6 with a remainder of 900.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 5826 away from 6726, we end up with 900.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 900 and repeat the process: 9005 / 971

Step 6:
971 can be fit into 9005 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 266.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 369.0
Deduct 8739 from 9005 and we're left with 266.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 266, then repeat: 2667 / 971

Let's proceed to step 7:
971 goes into 2667 2 times with a remainder of 725.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3692.0
If we take 1942 away from 2667, we end up with 725.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 725, then carry on: 7258 / 971

Advancing to step 8:
7258 divided by 971 is 7 with a remainder of 461.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36927.0
Subtracting 6797 from 7258 leaves us with 461.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 4610 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 726.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 36927.4
Deduct 3884 from 4610 and we're left with 726.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
7260 divided by 971 is 7 with a remainder of 463.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36927.47
Deduct 6797 from 7260 and we're left with 463.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 4630 by 971, we get 4 with a remainder of 746.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 36927.474
Subtracting 3884 from 4630 leaves us with 746.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
971 can be fit into 7460 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 663.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 36927.4747
Subtract 6797 from 7460 to get 663.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6630, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 6630 by 971, we get 6 with a remainder of 804.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36927.47476
If we subtract 5826 from 6630, we get 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
971 can be fit into 8040 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 272.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36927.474768
The remainder is 272 after subtracting 7768 from 8040.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 971 fits into 2720 2 times, leaving a remainder of 778.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36927.4747682
If we take 1942 away from 2720, we end up with 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
971 goes into 7780 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 36927.47476828
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 7768 from 7780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 36927.47476828 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
