We look at the division of 488699 by 39 
We want to divide 488699 by 39.

Advancing 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 39

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 39, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 39 from 48.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 39

Step 3:
When dividing 98 by 39, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 78 from 98 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 39

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 39 fits into 206 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 195 away from 206, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 39

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 39 fits into 119 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1253.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 117 from 119.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 39

Advancing to step 6:
29 divided by 39 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12530.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 39, we get 7 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12530.7
Subtracting 273 from 290 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 170 by 39, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12530.74
If we take 156 away from 170, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 39, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12530.743
If we subtract 117 from 140, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 39 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12530.7435
If we subtract 195 from 230, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
350 divided by 39 is 8 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12530.74358
Subtracting 312 from 350 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 380 by 39, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12530.743589
If we take 351 away from 380, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
39 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12530.7435897
If we subtract 273 from 290, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
39 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12530.74358974
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 156 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12530.74358974 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
