973982 divided by 39 
We want to figure out the number of times 973982 can be divided by 39.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 39

Advancing to step 2:
97 divided by 39 is 2 with a remainder of 19.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 39

Step 3:
If we divide 193 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 156 away from 193, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 379 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 249.0
If we take 351 away from 379, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 288 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2497.0
If we subtract 273 from 288, we get 15.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 152 / 39

Step 6:
If we divide 152 by 39, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 24973.0
Subtracting 117 from 152 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 7:
If we divide 350 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 24973.8
Subtracting 312 from 350 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
39 can be fit into 380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24973.89
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 351 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 290 by 39, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24973.897
Deduct 273 from 290 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
170 divided by 39 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24973.8974
If we subtract 156 from 170, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
39 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24973.89743
Subtracting 117 from 140 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
230 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24973.897435
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.

Step 13:
39 can be fit into 350 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24973.8974358
Subtract 312 from 350 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 380 by 39, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24973.89743589
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 351 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24973.89743589 with a balance of 2.9e-08.
