<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 139, we need to group it as 39 and 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is 1. We can say n is '1' because 1 × 1 is<a>less than</a>or equal to 1. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 1 after subtracting 1-1, the<a>remainder</a>is 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 2n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n × n ≤ 39. Let us consider n as 1, now 2 × 1 × 1 = 2</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtracting 39 from 2 gives the difference of 37, and the quotient is 11.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 3700.</p>
