We divide 38696 by 59
Our goal is to divide 38696 by 59.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 59

On to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 386 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
59 can be fit into 386 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 354 from 386 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 59

Step 4:
59 goes into 329 5 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 295 away from 329, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 346 / 59

On to step 5:
If we divide 346 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 655.0
Subtract 295 from 346 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
59 can be fit into 510 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 655.8
If we take 472 away from 510, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
59 goes into 380 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 655.86
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 354 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
260 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 655.864
Subtract 236 from 260 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 655.8644
Deduct 236 from 240 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 655.8644, with a leftover of 4e-05.
