278672 divided by 39 
Our goal is to divide 278672 by 39.

Step 1:
39 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 39

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 39, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
39 can be fit into 278 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 273 from 278.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 39

Step 4:
39 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 39 from 56, we get 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
39 goes into 177 4 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 714.0
If we subtract 156 from 177, we get 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 39

Moving on to step 6:
The number 39 fits into 212 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7145.0
If we subtract 195 from 212, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 39, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7145.4
If we take 156 away from 170, we end up with 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 8:
39 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7145.43
If we subtract 117 from 140, we get 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 9:
39 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7145.435
Subtracting 195 from 230 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 350 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7145.4358
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 11:
The number 39 fits into 380 9 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7145.43589
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.

Step 12:
The number 39 fits into 290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7145.435897
Subtracting 273 from 290 leaves us 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 13:
170 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7145.4358974
Subtract 156 from 170 to 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 14:
The number 39 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7145.43589743
Deduct 117 from 140 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 7145.43589743 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
