We divide 816978 by 39
Our goal is to divide 816978 by 39.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 39

On to step 2:
39 can be fit into 81 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 78 from 81 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 36 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 36 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 36.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
39 goes into 369 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Subtract 351 from 369 to get 18.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 187 / 39

On to step 5:
The number 39 fits into 187 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2094.0
If we subtract 156 from 187, we get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 39

Let's proceed to step 6:
39 goes into 318 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20948.0
Subtract 312 from 318 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 39, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20948.1
Deduct 39 from 60 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
210 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20948.15
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 195 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
39 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20948.153
If we subtract 117 from 150, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 330 by 39, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20948.1538
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 312 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
180 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20948.15384
Subtract 156 from 180 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
240 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20948.153846
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 39 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20948.1538461
Subtracting 39 from 60 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 210 by 39, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20948.15384615
Subtract 195 from 210 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20948.15384615, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
