724996 ÷ 36 
We're looking to find how many times 36 goes into 724996.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 36

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 36, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 72 from 72.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 36

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 36, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 36

On to step 4:
The number 36 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtract 36 from 49 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 36

On to step 5:
36 can be fit into 139 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2013.0
Subtract 108 from 139 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 316 / 36

Step 6:
The number 36 fits into 316 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20138.0
Deduct 288 from 316 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 7:
36 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20138.7
If we subtract 252 from 280, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 36, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20138.77
Subtracting 252 from 280 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 20138.77 with a remainder of 0.028.
