39696 ÷ 38 
Our goal is to divide 39696 by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 can be fit into 39 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 38 from 39.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 38

Step 3:
When dividing 16 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 169 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we subtract 152 from 169, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 176 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1044.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 152 from 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1044.6
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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1044.63
Deduct 114 from 120 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1044.631
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 38 from 60.
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 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: 1044.6315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1044.63157
Subtract 266 from 300 to 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.

On to step 11:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1044.631578
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.

On to step 12:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1044.6315789
Subtract 342 from 360 to 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.

On to step 13:
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: 1044.63157894
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 1044.63157894 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
