996409 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 996409.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 99 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 76 from 99.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 236 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 228 from 236 to get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 84 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 262.0
Subtract 76 from 84 to get 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 38

Step 5:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2622.0
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 38

Step 6:
The number 38 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26221.0
Deduct 38 from 49 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
110 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26221.2
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 76 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26221.28
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26221.289
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.

Step 10:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26221.2894
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.

Moving on to step 11:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26221.28947
If we take 266 away from 280, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26221.289473
If we take 114 away from 140, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26221.2894736
Subtract 228 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
38 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26221.28947368
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 26221.28947368 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
