We divide 539864 by 35
We want to divide 539864 by 35.

Step 1:
35 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 35

Moving on to step 2:
53 divided by 35 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 35 from 53 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 35

On to step 3:
35 can be fit into 189 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 175 from 189, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 35

Step 4:
35 can be fit into 148 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtracting 140 from 148 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 35

On to step 5:
35 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1542.0
If we take 70 away from 86, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 35

Let's proceed to step 6:
35 can be fit into 164 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15424.0
Subtracting 140 from 164 leaves us with 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 7:
35 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15424.6
Subtract 210 from 240 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 35 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15424.68
Subtract 280 from 300 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 35 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15424.685
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 175 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 35 fits into 250 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15424.6857
If we take 245 away from 250, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
35 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15424.68571
Deduct 35 from 50 and we're left with 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 12:
150 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15424.685714
Subtracting 140 from 150 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
35 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15424.6857142
Subtracting 70 from 100 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 300 by 35, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15424.68571428
Deduct 280 from 300 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15424.68571428 with a balance of 2e-08.
