We're dividing 248859 by 38 
We want to divide 248859 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
24 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 38

Step 3:
248 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 228 from 248 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 208 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 190 away from 208, we end up with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 185 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 33.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 654.0
Deduct 152 from 185 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
339 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6548.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 304 from 339.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
350 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6548.9
Subtract 342 from 350 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6548.92
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6548.921
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6548.921
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6548.92105
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.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6548.921052
Subtracting 76 from 100 leaves us 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 13:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6548.9210526
Subtract 228 from 240 to get 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 14:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6548.92105263
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.

Our division results in 6548.92105263 with a remaining 6e-09.
