We look at the division of 39230998 by 259 
We want to divide 39230998 by 259.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 259 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 259

Let's proceed to step 2:
39 divided by 259 is 0 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 392 / 259

Going ahead to step 3:
259 goes into 392 1 times with a remainder of 133.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 259 away from 392, we end up with 133.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 133, then repeat: 1333 / 259

Step 4:
If we divide 1333 by 259, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 1295 from 1333.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 380 / 259

Step 5:
259 goes into 380 1 times with a remainder of 121.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 151.0
Deduct 259 from 380 and we're left with 121.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 121 and continue: 1219 / 259

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1219 by 259, we get 4 with a remainder of 183.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1514.0
If we take 1036 away from 1219, we end up with 183.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 183, then carry on: 1839 / 259

Step 7:
When dividing 1839 by 259, we get 7 with a remainder of 26.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15147.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 1813 from 1839.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 259

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 268 by 259, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 151471.0
Subtract 259 from 268 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 90 by 259, we get 0 with a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 151471.0
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 900 by 259, we get 3 with a remainder of 123.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 151471.03
If we subtract 777 from 900, we get 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1230 by 259, we get 4 and a remainder of 194.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 151471.034
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 1036 from 1230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 1940 by 259, we get 7 with a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 151471.0347
Subtract 1813 from 1940 to get 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 259 fits into 1270 4 times, leaving a remainder of 234.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 151471.03474
Subtract 1036 from 1270 to get 234.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2340 by 259, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 151471.034749
If we take 2331 away from 2340, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 90 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 90.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 151471.034749
Subtract 0 from 90 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
259 goes into 900 3 times with a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 151471.03474903
Deduct 777 from 900 and we're left with 123.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 151471.03474903, and the remainder is 1.23e-07.
