We're dividing 983281 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 983281 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 76 from 98.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 223 / 38

Step 3:
When dividing 223 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 190 from 223, we get 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 332 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258.0
Subtracting 304 from 332 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
288 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2587.0
If we subtract 266 from 288, we get 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 goes into 221 5 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25875.0
Subtracting 190 from 221 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 310 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 25875.8
If we take 304 away from 310, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25875.81
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.

On to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25875.815
Subtract 190 from 220 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25875.8157
If we take 266 away from 300, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25875.81578
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.

Moving on to step 12:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25875.815789
If we subtract 342 from 360, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 25875.8157894
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25875.81578947
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.

After the division, we end up with 25875.81578947 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
