We divide 478983 by 39
We want to divide 478983 by 39.

Step 1:
39 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 39

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 39, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 39 from 47 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 39

Step 3:
The number 39 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 78 from 88 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
109 divided by 39 is 2 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we subtract 78 from 109, we get 31.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 39 fits into 318 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1228.0
Subtracting 312 from 318 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 39

Let's proceed to step 6:
39 goes into 63 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12281.0
If we subtract 39 from 63, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 39 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12281.6
Deduct 234 from 240 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 39, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12281.61
Subtract 39 from 60 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
39 goes into 210 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12281.615
If we subtract 195 from 210, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 150 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12281.6153
Subtracting 117 from 150 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
39 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12281.61538
Subtracting 312 from 330 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12281.615384
If we subtract 156 from 180, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
240 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12281.6153846
If we take 234 away from 240, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 39, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12281.61538461
Subtracting 39 from 60 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12281.61538461 and a remainder of 2.1e-08.
