We're dividing 38056991 by 255 
We want to figure out the number of times 38056991 can be divided by 255.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 255, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 255

On to step 2:
38 divided by 255 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 380 / 255

On to step 3:
The number 255 fits into 380 1 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 255 from 380 and we're left with 125.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 125, then repeat: 1255 / 255

Moving on to step 4:
1255 divided by 255 is 4 with a remainder of 235.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 235 after subtracting 1020 from 1255.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 235 and repeat the process: 2356 / 255

Moving on to step 5:
The number 255 fits into 2356 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Subtract 2295 from 2356 to get 61.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 619 / 255

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 255 fits into 619 2 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1492.0
Subtracting 510 from 619 leaves us with 109.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 109, then repeat: 1099 / 255

On to step 7:
1099 divided by 255 is 4 with a remainder of 79.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14924.0
If we subtract 1020 from 1099, we get 79.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 791 / 255

Step 8:
When dividing 791 by 255, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 149243.0
If we take 765 away from 791, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 255, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149243.1
Subtract 255 from 260 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
50 divided by 255 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 149243.1
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 11:
255 goes into 500 1 times with a remainder of 245.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149243.101
Subtract 255 from 500 to get 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 2450 by 255, we get 9 with a remainder of 155.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149243.1019
If we take 2295 away from 2450, we end up with 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Step 13:
255 can be fit into 1550 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149243.10196
If we subtract 1530 from 1550, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
200 divided by 255 is 0 with a remainder of 200.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149243.10196
If we take 0 away from 200, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 255 fits into 2000 7 times, leaving a remainder of 215.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149243.1019607
The remainder is 215 after subtracting 1785 from 2000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
255 goes into 2150 8 times with a remainder of 110.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 149243.10196078
The remainder is 110 after subtracting 2040 from 2150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 149243.10196078 with a remaining 1.1e-07.
