508970 ÷ 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 508970 can be divided by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
38 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in 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.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 38

On to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 50, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 38

On to step 3:
38 can be fit into 128 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 114 from 128.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 149 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtract 114 from 149 to get 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 357 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1339.0
Subtracting 342 from 357 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 150 / 38

Step 6:
38 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13393.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 114 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13393.9
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13393.94
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13393.947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13393.9473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 13393.94736
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13393.947368
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 13:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13393.9473684
If we subtract 152 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 13393.94736842
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.

The final result is 13393.94736842 with a remainder of 4e-09.
