We're dividing 554983 by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 554983 can be divided by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
55 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 55, we get 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 38

Step 3:
The number 38 fits into 174 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 152 from 174 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
229 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 228 from 229.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1460.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 183 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 183 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14604.0
Subtract 152 from 183 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 310 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14604.8
If we subtract 304 from 310, we 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.

Step 8:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14604.81
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14604.815
If we subtract 190 from 220, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14604.8157
Subtract 266 from 300 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14604.81578
If we subtract 304 from 340, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14604.815789
Subtract 342 from 360 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 13:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14604.8157894
If we take 152 away from 180, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14604.81578947
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 14604.81578947, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
