We're dividing 38140 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 38140.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 48

On to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 381 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 381 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 336 from 381, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 454 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 454 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 79.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 432 from 454.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 48

On to step 5:
48 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 794.0
Subtract 192 from 220 to 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.

Advancing to step 6:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 794.5
If we subtract 240 from 280, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 7:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 794.58
Subtract 384 from 400 to 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.

Step 8:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 794.583
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 794.5833
If we take 144 away from 160, 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.

The final result is 794.5833 with a remainder of 0.00016.
