We divide 871879 by 39
We want to figure out the number of times 871879 can be divided by 39.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 39

Going ahead to step 2:
39 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 78 from 87, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 39

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 91 by 39, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 78 from 91 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 138 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 223.0
If we subtract 117 from 138, we get 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 39

Step 5:
The number 39 fits into 217 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2235.0
Subtract 195 from 217 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 229 / 39

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 229 by 39, we get 5 and a remainder of 34.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22355.0
If we take 195 away from 229, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 340 by 39, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22355.8
Subtract 312 from 340 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22355.87
Subtracting 273 from 280 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 39 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22355.871
Deduct 39 from 70 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
The number 39 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22355.8717
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 39, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22355.87179
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 190 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22355.871794
Subtracting 156 from 190 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
39 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22355.8717948
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 39 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22355.87179487
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 273 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22355.87179487 with a remaining 7e-09.
