956978 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 956978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 38

Step 2:
38 can be fit into 95 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 95 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 can be fit into 196 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 190 from 196.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
69 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 251.0
If we subtract 38 from 69, we get 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 317 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2518.0
Subtract 304 from 317 to get 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 38

On to step 6:
38 can be fit into 138 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25183.0
Subtracting 114 from 138 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25183.6
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25183.63
Subtract 114 from 120 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25183.631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25183.6315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25183.63157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25183.631578
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25183.6315789
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 25183.63157894
Subtract 152 from 180 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 25183.63157894 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
