218661 ÷ 39 
We want to divide 218661 by 39.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 39

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 39

On to step 3:
39 goes into 218 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 195 from 218 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
236 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 234 away from 236, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 39

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 26 by 39, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 560.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 39

Moving on to step 6:
39 can be fit into 261 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5606.0
Subtract 234 from 261 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.

Advancing to step 7:
39 goes into 270 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5606.6
If we take 234 away from 270, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
39 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5606.69
If we take 351 away from 360, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 39 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5606.692
Deduct 78 from 90 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
120 divided by 39 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5606.6923
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 11:
30 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5606.6923
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5606.692307
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 39 fits into 270 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5606.6923076
If we subtract 234 from 270, we 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 39, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5606.69230769
If we subtract 351 from 360, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 5606.69230769 and a remainder of 9e-09.
