Let's divide 31538718 by 738
We're looking to find how many times 738 goes into 31538718.

On to step 1:
738 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 738

Going ahead to step 2:
738 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 315 / 738

Let's proceed to step 3:
738 goes into 315 0 times with a remainder of 315.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 315, we get 315.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 315, then carry on: 3153 / 738

Step 4:
If we divide 3153 by 738, we get 4 and a remainder of 201.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 2952 from 3153, we get 201.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 201 and repeat the process: 2018 / 738

Let's proceed to step 5:
738 can be fit into 2018 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 542.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 1476 away from 2018, we end up with 542.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 542, then repeat: 5427 / 738

Step 6:
When dividing 5427 by 738, we get 7 with a remainder of 261.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
Subtracting 5166 from 5427 leaves us with 261.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 261 and continue with: 2611 / 738

Moving on to step 7:
The number 738 fits into 2611 3 times, leaving a remainder of 397.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4273.0
Deduct 2214 from 2611 and we're left with 397.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 397 and continue: 3978 / 738

Let's proceed to step 8:
738 goes into 3978 5 times with a remainder of 288.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42735.0
If we subtract 3690 from 3978, we get 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 2880 by 738, we get 3 and a remainder of 666.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42735.3
Subtract 2214 from 2880 to get 666.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
738 goes into 6660 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42735.39
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 6642 from 6660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 738 fits into 180 0 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42735.39
Deduct 0 from 180 and we're left with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 1800 by 738, we get 2 with a remainder of 324.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42735.3902
If we take 1476 away from 1800, we end up with 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
3240 divided by 738 is 4 with a remainder of 288.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42735.39024
If we take 2952 away from 3240, we end up with 288.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2880, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
738 goes into 2880 3 times with a remainder of 666.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42735.390243
The remainder is 666 after subtracting 2214 from 2880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 6660 by 738, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42735.3902439
Subtract 6642 from 6660 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 738 fits into 180 0 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42735.3902439
The remainder is 180 after subtracting 0 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 42735.3902439 and a remainder of 1.8e-07.
