988997 ÷ 39 
Our goal is to divide 988997 by 39.

Advancing to step 1:
39 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 39

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 39 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 78 away from 98, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 39

On to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 39, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 195 from 208 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 39

Step 4:
When dividing 139 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 253.0
Deduct 117 from 139 and we're left with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 39

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 229 by 39, we get 5 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2535.0
Deduct 195 from 229 and we're left with 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 39

Step 6:
39 can be fit into 347 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25358.0
If we subtract 312 from 347, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 39, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25358.8
Deduct 312 from 350 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
39 goes into 380 9 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25358.89
If we take 351 away from 380, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 290 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25358.897
Deduct 273 from 290 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 39 fits into 170 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25358.8974
If we subtract 156 from 170, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 140 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25358.89743
Subtracting 117 from 140 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 39, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25358.897435
If we take 195 away from 230, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 350 by 39, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25358.8974358
If we take 312 away from 350, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
39 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 25358.89743589
Subtracting 351 from 380 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 25358.89743589, and the remainder is 2.9e-08.
