We're dividing 281509 by 39 
We want to divide 281509 by 39.

Advancing to step 1:
39 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 39

Moving on to step 2:
39 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 39

Step 3:
281 divided by 39 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 273 away from 281, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 85 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 78 from 85 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 39

Advancing to step 5:
70 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 721.0
If we take 39 away from 70, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 39

On to step 6:
If we divide 319 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7218.0
Subtracting 312 from 319 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
39 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7218.1
Deduct 39 from 70 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
39 goes into 310 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7218.17
If we take 273 away from 310, we end up 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 9:
39 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7218.179
If we subtract 351 from 370, 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 190 by 39, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7218.1794
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 156 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 340 by 39, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7218.17948
Subtracting 312 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
39 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7218.179487
If we subtract 273 from 280, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 70 by 39, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7218.1794871
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
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: 7218.17948717
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.

Our division results in 7218.17948717 with a remaining 3.7e-08.
