We divide 985982 by 38
Our goal is to divide 985982 by 38.

On to step 1:
38 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 76 from 98.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 225 / 38

Step 3:
If we divide 225 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 190 from 225 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 359 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 342 from 359.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 38

Step 5:
38 can be fit into 178 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2594.0
Subtract 152 from 178 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
262 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25946.0
If we take 228 away from 262, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25946.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25946.89
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25946.894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25946.8947
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25946.89473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25946.894736
If we subtract 228 from 260, we get 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 13:
320 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25946.8947368
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up with 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 14:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25946.89473684
Deduct 152 from 160 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 25946.89473684, and the remainder is 8e-09.
