578779 ÷ 38 
Our goal is to divide 578779 by 38.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 57, we get 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 198 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 190 from 198 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 87 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152.0
Deduct 76 from 87 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 38

Step 5:
If we divide 117 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1523.0
Subtract 114 from 117 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 38

Step 6:
38 goes into 39 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15231.0
Deduct 38 from 39 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
38 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15231.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15231.02
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15231.026
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15231.0263
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.

Moving on to step 11:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15231.02631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15231.026315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15231.0263157
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15231.02631578
If we subtract 304 from 340, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15231.02631578 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
