2778971 divided by 138 
Let's see how many times 138 fits into 2778971.

Going ahead to step 1:
138 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 138

On to step 2:
138 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 138

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 277 by 138, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 276 from 277, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 138

Going ahead to step 4:
138 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 138

Moving on to step 5:
The number 138 fits into 189 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtracting 138 from 189 leaves us with 51.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 517 / 138

Step 6:
138 goes into 517 3 times with a remainder of 103.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2013.0
Subtract 414 from 517 to get 103.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1031 / 138

Moving on to step 7:
The number 138 fits into 1031 7 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20137.0
Subtract 966 from 1031 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
138 can be fit into 650 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20137.4
Subtract 552 from 650 to get 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 980 by 138, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20137.47
Subtracting 966 from 980 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 138, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20137.471
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
138 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20137.471
Subtract 0 from 20 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.

Step 12:
138 goes into 200 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20137.47101
If we subtract 138 from 200, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
138 can be fit into 620 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20137.471014
Subtracting 552 from 620 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 138 fits into 680 4 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20137.4710144
Subtracting 552 from 680 leaves us with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20137.4710144 with a balance of 1.28e-06.
