We divide 40555 by 39
We want to figure out the number of times 40555 can be divided by 39.

Let's proceed to step 1:
39 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 39

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 39, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 39 from 40 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
39 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 39

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 155 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 103.0
If we subtract 117 from 155, we get 38.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 385 / 39

Advancing to step 5:
The number 39 fits into 385 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1039.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 351 from 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
39 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1039.8
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 312 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 39 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1039.87
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 39, we get 1 with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1039.871
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.

Step 9:
The number 39 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1039.8717
Subtract 273 from 310 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 39 fits into 370 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1039.87179
Deduct 351 from 370 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
39 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1039.871794
If we subtract 156 from 190, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1039.8717948
If we subtract 312 from 340, we get 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 13:
If we divide 280 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1039.87179487
If we take 273 away from 280, we end up 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.

Our division results in 1039.87179487 with a remaining 7e-09.
