973871 divided by 38 
Our goal is to divide 973871 by 38.

Step 1:
The number 38 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 76 from 97, we get 21.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 213 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 190 from 213 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
38 can be fit into 238 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtracting 228 from 238 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 goes into 107 2 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2562.0
Deduct 76 from 107 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
38 can be fit into 311 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25628.0
Subtracting 304 from 311 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 70 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25628.1
Subtract 38 from 70 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25628.18
If we subtract 304 from 320, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25628.184
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 152 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25628.1842
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 25628.18421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25628.18421
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25628.1842105
If we take 190 away from 200, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25628.18421052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 25628.18421052, and the remainder is 2.4e-08.
