489800 ÷ 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 489800 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
38 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 48, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
109 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 33.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 76 from 109 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 38

Step 4:
38 can be fit into 338 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 304 from 338.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 340 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1288.0
Subtract 304 from 340 to get 36.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 360 / 38

On to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12889.0
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12889.4
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12889.47
If we subtract 266 from 280, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12889.473
Subtracting 114 from 140 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12889.4736
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up with 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 11:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12889.47368
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12889.473684
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12889.4736842
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 76 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12889.47368421
Subtract 38 from 40 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.

The final result is 12889.47368421 with a remainder of 2e-09.
