We're dividing 488778 by 39 
We want to divide 488778 by 39.

Let's proceed to step 1:
39 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 39

On to step 2:
39 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 39 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 39

Let's proceed to step 3:
98 divided by 39 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 39

Let's proceed to step 4:
39 goes into 207 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 195 from 207.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
127 divided by 39 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1253.0
If we subtract 117 from 127, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 39

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 39 fits into 108 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12532.0
Deduct 78 from 108 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 300 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12532.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
39 can be fit into 270 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12532.76
Subtract 234 from 270 to get 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 9:
360 divided by 39 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12532.769
Deduct 351 from 360 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 39, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12532.7692
Subtract 78 from 90 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
39 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12532.76923
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 117 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12532.76923
If we subtract 0 from 30, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12532.7692307
If we subtract 273 from 300, 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.

Advancing to step 14:
270 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12532.76923076
Subtracting 234 from 270 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12532.76923076 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
