Let's divide 501733 by 39
We want to divide 501733 by 39.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 39

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 39, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 39 from 50.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 111 / 39

Advancing to step 3:
The number 39 fits into 111 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 78 from 111 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 39

Advancing to step 4:
39 goes into 337 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 312 from 337 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 253 / 39

Let's proceed to step 5:
253 divided by 39 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1286.0
If we subtract 234 from 253, we get 19.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 39

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 193 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 37.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12864.0
If we take 156 away from 193, 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.

Step 7:
39 goes into 370 9 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12864.9
If we take 351 away from 370, we end up 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 190 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12864.94
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
39 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12864.948
Deduct 312 from 340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
39 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12864.9487
Deduct 273 from 280 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 39 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12864.94871
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 39 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12864.948717
If we subtract 273 from 310, we 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 370 by 39, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12864.9487179
If we take 351 away from 370, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 190 by 39, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12864.94871794
If we take 156 away from 190, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12864.94871794 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
