Let's divide 218573 by 38
Our goal is to divide 218573 by 38.

On to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 38

Step 3:
If we divide 218 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 190 from 218, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
285 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 266 from 285, we get 19.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 197 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 goes into 197 5 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 575.0
Subtract 190 from 197 to get 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 73 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5751.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 38 from 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
38 can be fit into 350 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5751.9
Subtract 342 from 350 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5751.92
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 76 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5751.921
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5751.921
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5751.92105
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5751.921052
Subtract 76 from 100 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5751.9210526
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5751.92105263
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5751.92105263, with a leftover of 6e-09.
