We're dividing 872729 by 39 
We want to figure out the number of times 872729 can be divided by 39.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 39

Step 2:
87 divided by 39 is 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 78 from 87 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 39

On to step 3:
If we divide 92 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 78 from 92 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 147 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 147 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 223.0
If we subtract 117 from 147, we get 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 39

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 302 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2237.0
If we subtract 273 from 302, we get 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 39

Step 6:
299 divided by 39 is 7 with a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22377.0
Subtract 273 from 299 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 39, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22377.6
Subtract 234 from 260 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
260 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22377.66
Subtracting 234 from 260 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22377.66 and a remainder of 0.026.
