2782531 divided by 138 
Our goal is to divide 2782531 by 138.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 138, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 138

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 138 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 138

Moving on to step 3:
138 goes into 278 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 276 from 278 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 138

Going ahead to step 4:
22 divided by 138 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 225 / 138

Moving on to step 5:
225 divided by 138 is 1 with a remainder of 87.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 201.0
Deduct 138 from 225 and we're left with 87.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 873 / 138

Going ahead to step 6:
138 can be fit into 873 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2016.0
If we subtract 828 from 873, we get 45.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 451 / 138

Moving on to step 7:
451 divided by 138 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20163.0
Deduct 414 from 451 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 370 by 138, we get 2 with a remainder of 94.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20163.2
If we take 276 away from 370, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 940 by 138, we get 6 and a remainder of 112.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20163.26
Subtract 828 from 940 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
1120 divided by 138 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20163.268
If we subtract 1104 from 1120, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 138, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20163.2681
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
138 goes into 220 1 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20163.26811
If we subtract 138 from 220, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 20163.26811, with a leftover of 8.2e-05.
