We're dividing 311461 by 39 
We want to divide 311461 by 39.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 39, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 39

On to step 2:
39 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 39

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 311 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 273 from 311 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 39

On to step 4:
When dividing 384 by 39, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79.0
Deduct 351 from 384 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 336 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 336 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 798.0
Subtract 312 from 336 to get 24.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 241 / 39

Advancing to step 6:
The number 39 fits into 241 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7986.0
If we take 234 away from 241, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 39 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7986.1
Subtracting 39 from 70 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
39 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7986.17
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
39 can be fit into 370 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7986.179
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 351 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
190 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7986.1794
If we subtract 156 from 190, we get 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 11:
39 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7986.17948
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
280 divided by 39 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7986.179487
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
70 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7986.1794871
Subtracting 39 from 70 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 310 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7986.17948717
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 273 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The final result is 7986.17948717 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
