52472 divided by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 52472 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 52 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 52, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
144 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 114 from 144 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 307 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 goes into 307 8 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Subtract 304 from 307 to get 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 38

On to step 5:
38 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1380.0
If we subtract 0 from 32, we 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.

Moving on to step 6:
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: 1380.8
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1380.84
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1380.842
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.

On to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1380.8421
Deduct 38 from 40 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1380.8421
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1380.842105
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1380.8421052
Deduct 76 from 100 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1380.84210526
Subtract 228 from 240 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1380.84210526 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
