Step 1:
1 divided by 838 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 838

Step 2:
The number 838 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 838

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 122 by 838, we get 0 with a remainder of 122.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 122 to get 122.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 122, then carry on: 1223 / 838

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1223 by 838, we get 1 and a remainder of 385.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 838 away from 1223, we end up with 385.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 385, then carry on: 3856 / 838

Advancing to step 5:
838 can be fit into 3856 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 504.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 3352 away from 3856, we end up with 504.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 504 and repeat the process: 5048 / 838

On to step 6:
When dividing 5048 by 838, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146.0
Deduct 5028 from 5048 and we're left with 20.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 205 / 838

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 205 by 838, we get 0 with a remainder of 205.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1460.0
Deduct 0 from 205 and we're left with 205.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 205 and repeat the process: 2056 / 838

Advancing to step 8:
2056 divided by 838 is 2 with a remainder of 380.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14602.0
Subtract 1676 from 2056 to get 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 838 fits into 3800 4 times, leaving a remainder of 448.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14602.4
Subtracting 3352 from 3800 leaves us with 448.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
4480 divided by 838 is 5 with a remainder of 290.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14602.45
If we subtract 4190 from 4480, we get 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 838 fits into 2900 3 times, leaving a remainder of 386.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14602.453
If we subtract 2514 from 2900, we get 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 3860 by 838, we get 4 and a remainder of 508.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14602.4534
If we take 3352 away from 3860, we end up with 508.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 5080 by 838, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14602.45346
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 5028 from 5080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 520 by 838, we get 0 and a remainder of 520.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14602.45346
Subtract 0 from 520 to get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
838 can be fit into 5200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14602.4534606
Subtract 5028 from 5200 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 838 fits into 1720 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14602.45346062
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 1676 from 1720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The final result is 14602.45346062 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
