We look at the division of 285940 by 39 
Our goal is to divide 285940 by 39.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 39

Going ahead to step 2:
39 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 285 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 273 from 285, we get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
129 divided by 39 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we take 117 away from 129, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 124 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 733.0
If we subtract 117 from 124, we get 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 39

On to step 6:
70 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7331.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 39 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
39 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7331.7
If we subtract 273 from 310, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 370 by 39, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7331.79
If we take 351 away from 370, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 190 by 39, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7331.794
If we subtract 156 from 190, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
39 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7331.7948
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 39 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7331.79487
If we subtract 273 from 280, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7331.794871
If we take 39 away from 70, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 310 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7331.7948717
If we subtract 273 from 310, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 14:
39 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7331.79487179
Subtract 351 from 370 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7331.79487179 with a remaining 1.9e-08.
