We divide 159887 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 159887.

Advancing to step 1:
38 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 38

Step 2:
The number 38 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 159 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 152 away from 159, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 78 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 76 from 78, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 38

Step 5:
The number 38 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 420.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 287 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4207.0
Subtracting 266 from 287 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
210 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4207.5
If we subtract 190 from 210, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4207.55
Subtract 190 from 200 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4207.55 and a remainder of 0.01.
