We look at the division of 278596 by 39 
We want to figure out the number of times 278596 can be divided by 39.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 39

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 39, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 273 away from 278, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 39

On to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Deduct 39 from 55 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 39

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 169 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 714.0
Subtract 156 from 169 to get 13.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 136 / 39

Advancing to step 6:
136 divided by 39 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7143.0
If we subtract 117 from 136, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 39, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7143.4
Deduct 156 from 190 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 340 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7143.48
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.

Advancing to step 9:
39 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7143.487
Deduct 273 from 280 and we're left 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 10:
39 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7143.4871
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 310 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7143.48717
Deduct 273 from 310 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 370 by 39, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7143.487179
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
39 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7143.4871794
Subtract 156 from 190 to 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 14:
39 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7143.48717948
If we take 312 away from 340, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 7143.48717948, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
