901731 ÷ 36 
Our goal is to divide 901731 by 36.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 36 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 90 / 36

On to step 2:
The number 36 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 72 away from 90, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 36

Going ahead to step 3:
36 goes into 181 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 180 from 181.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 36

Step 4:
The number 36 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 250.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 36

Step 5:
The number 36 fits into 173 4 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2504.0
Deduct 144 from 173 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 291 / 36

Step 6:
36 goes into 291 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25048.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 288 from 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 36 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25048.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 36, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25048.08
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 36, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25048.083
Subtract 108 from 120 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 36 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25048.0833
Subtract 108 from 120 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 25048.0833 with a remainder of 0.00012.
