We're dividing 456878 by 39 
We want to divide 456878 by 39.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 39 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 39

Going ahead to step 2:
39 can be fit into 45 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 39 from 45 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 39

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 66 by 39, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 39 from 66 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 39

Moving on to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 278 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 273 from 278 to get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 39

Going ahead to step 5:
39 can be fit into 57 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1171.0
Subtract 39 from 57 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 39

On to step 6:
The number 39 fits into 188 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11714.0
If we take 156 away from 188, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 39, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11714.8
Subtracting 312 from 320 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 39, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11714.82
If we take 78 away from 80, we end up 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 9:
The number 39 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11714.82
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
200 divided by 39 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11714.8205
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 195 from 200.
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:
50 divided by 39 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11714.82051
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 39 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 110 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11714.820512
Subtracting 78 from 110 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
39 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11714.8205128
Deduct 312 from 320 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 39, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11714.82051282
Subtracting 78 from 80 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.

The final result is 11714.82051282 with a remainder of 2e-09.
