We look at the division of 987920 by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 987920.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 76 from 98.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 38

Step 3:
When dividing 227 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 190 away from 227, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
38 goes into 379 9 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtract 342 from 379 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
38 goes into 372 9 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2599.0
If we take 342 away from 372, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 300 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25997.0
If we take 266 away from 300, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25997.8
Subtract 304 from 340 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25997.89
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us with 18.
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 9:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25997.894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we 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.

On to step 10:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25997.8947
Subtracting 266 from 280 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25997.89473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25997.894736
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25997.8947368
Deduct 304 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25997.89473684
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up 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.

The final result is 25997.89473684 with a remainder of 8e-09.
