978417 ÷ 36 
We want to divide 978417 by 36.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 97 by 36, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 72 from 97 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 36

On to step 3:
The number 36 fits into 258 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 252 from 258.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 36

Moving on to step 4:
64 divided by 36 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 36 from 64.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 36

Step 5:
36 goes into 281 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2717.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 252 from 281.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 297 / 36

Going ahead to step 6:
36 goes into 297 8 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 27178.0
Subtract 288 from 297 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 36, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27178.2
Subtracting 72 from 90 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
36 goes into 180 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27178.25
If we take 180 away from 180, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 36, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27178.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 36 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27178.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27178.25 with a remaining 0.0.
