We're dividing 988994 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 988994 by 38.

On to step 1:
38 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 38

Step 2:
98 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 98 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
228 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 228 from 228 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 260.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
99 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2602.0
If we take 76 away from 99, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 38

Step 6:
38 goes into 234 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26026.0
If we subtract 228 from 234, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26026.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26026.15
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.

Step 9:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26026.157
If we subtract 266 from 300, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26026.1578
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26026.15789
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 342 from 360.
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 12:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26026.157894
Subtract 152 from 180 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26026.1578947
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.

Step 14:
The number 38 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26026.15789473
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 26026.15789473 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
