We look at the division of 388942 by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 388942 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 38, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 38

Step 3:
The number 38 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 89 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 76 from 89 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 38

Step 5:
The number 38 fits into 134 3 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1023.0
If we subtract 114 from 134, we get 20.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 202 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10235.0
Deduct 190 from 202 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10235.3
Deduct 114 from 120 and we're left with 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 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: 10235.31
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 38 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10235.315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10235.3157
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10235.31578
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10235.315789
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10235.3157894
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10235.31578947
Subtracting 266 from 280 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 10235.31578947 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
