Let's divide 488869 by 39
We want to divide 488869 by 39.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 39

Moving on to step 2:
48 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 39 from 48, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 39

On to step 3:
If we divide 98 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 39

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 208 by 39, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we subtract 195 from 208, we get 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 39

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 136 by 39, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1253.0
Subtracting 117 from 136 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 39

On to step 6:
The number 39 fits into 199 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12535.0
If we take 195 away from 199, we end up 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.

Step 7:
40 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.1
Subtract 39 from 40 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
10 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12535.1
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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 9:
39 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.102
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.

Step 10:
The number 39 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.1025
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
39 can be fit into 250 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.10256
Deduct 234 from 250 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.102564
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 156 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 39 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12535.1025641
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 39 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 10 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12535.1025641
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12535.1025641 with a balance of 1e-08.
