Let's divide 686054 by 38
We want to divide 686054 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 38

Step 2:
38 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 68, we get 30.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 306 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 306 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 304 away from 306, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 180.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 205 / 38

On to step 5:
If we divide 205 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1805.0
Subtract 190 from 205 to get 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 goes into 154 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18054.0
Subtract 152 from 154 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18054.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 8:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18054.05
Deduct 190 from 200 and we're left 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 9:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18054.052
Subtracting 76 from 100 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 10:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18054.0526
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
120 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18054.05263
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.

On to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18054.052631
Deduct 38 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18054.0526315
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18054.05263157
Deduct 266 from 300 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 18054.05263157, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
