Let's divide 231687 by 39
We're looking to find how many times 39 goes into 231687.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 39

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 23 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 39

Moving on to step 3:
39 goes into 231 5 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 195 from 231 leaves us with 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
39 can be fit into 366 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 351 from 366 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 39

Step 5:
39 can be fit into 158 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 594.0
If we take 156 away from 158, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 39

Let's proceed to step 6:
39 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5940.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
270 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5940.6
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 234 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 39, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5940.69
Subtract 351 from 360 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 9:
39 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5940.692
If we subtract 78 from 90, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 120 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5940.6923
Deduct 117 from 120 and we're left with 3.
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 11:
39 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5940.6923
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
39 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5940.692307
Subtract 273 from 300 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
39 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5940.6923076
If we take 234 away from 270, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
39 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5940.69230769
Subtracting 351 from 360 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5940.69230769, and the remainder is 9e-09.
