We're dividing 623859 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 623859 by 38.

Step 1:
If we divide 6 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
62 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 38 from 62.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 243 / 38

On to step 3:
38 goes into 243 6 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 228 away from 243, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
38 can be fit into 158 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 164.0
Deduct 152 from 158 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 38

On to step 5:
38 goes into 65 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1641.0
If we subtract 38 from 65, we get 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 38

Step 6:
38 goes into 279 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16417.0
If we subtract 266 from 279, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16417.3
Subtracting 114 from 130 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16417.34
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.

Step 9:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16417.342
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16417.3421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16417.3421
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 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 12:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16417.342105
Subtracting 190 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16417.3421052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16417.34210526
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.

After the division, we end up with 16417.34210526 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
