Let's divide 48971 by 36
Let's see how many times 36 fits into 48971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
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: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 36 from 48 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 36, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 108 from 129.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 36

On to step 4:
When dividing 217 by 36, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136.0
If we subtract 216 from 217, we get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 36

Let's proceed to step 5:
11 divided by 36 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1360.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
36 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1360.3
Deduct 108 from 110 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
36 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1360.3
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
200 divided by 36 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1360.305
Deduct 180 from 200 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
36 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1360.3055
If we take 180 away from 200, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1360.3055, with a leftover of 0.0002.
