178864 ÷ 39 
We want to divide 178864 by 39.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 39

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 39

Step 3:
39 goes into 178 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 156 from 178 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 228 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
228 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Deduct 195 from 228 and we're left with 33.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 336 / 39

Going ahead to step 5:
336 divided by 39 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 458.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 312 from 336.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 39

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 244 by 39, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4586.0
Deduct 234 from 244 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
100 divided by 39 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4586.2
If we take 78 away from 100, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 39 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4586.25
Subtract 195 from 220 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
250 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4586.256
Subtract 234 from 250 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 39 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4586.2564
Deduct 156 from 160 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
39 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4586.25641
If we take 39 away from 40, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 10 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4586.25641
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4586.2564102
If we subtract 78 from 100, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
220 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4586.25641025
Deduct 195 from 220 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4586.25641025 and a remainder of 2.5e-08.
