We're dividing 35183742 by 138 
We're looking to find how many times 138 goes into 35183742.

Going ahead to step 1:
138 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 138

Advancing to step 2:
The number 138 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 351 / 138

On to step 3:
If we divide 351 by 138, we get 2 and a remainder of 75.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 276 away from 351, we end up with 75.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 758 / 138

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 758 by 138, we get 5 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 690 from 758 leaves us with 68.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 683 / 138

Step 5:
If we divide 683 by 138, we get 4 and a remainder of 131.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.0
Deduct 552 from 683 and we're left with 131.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 131, then repeat: 1317 / 138

Moving on to step 6:
138 goes into 1317 9 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2549.0
If we subtract 1242 from 1317, we get 75.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 754 / 138

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 754 by 138, we get 5 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25495.0
If we take 690 away from 754, we end up with 64.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 64 and repeat the process: 642 / 138

Step 8:
The number 138 fits into 642 4 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254954.0
Deduct 552 from 642 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
138 can be fit into 900 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254954.6
Deduct 828 from 900 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 720 by 138, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254954.65
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 690 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
138 can be fit into 300 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254954.652
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
138 can be fit into 240 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 102.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 254954.6521
The remainder is 102 after subtracting 138 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 138 fits into 1020 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 254954.65217
Subtracting 966 from 1020 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
138 can be fit into 540 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 254954.652173
If we take 414 away from 540, we end up with 126.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
138 goes into 1260 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254954.6521739
Deduct 1242 from 1260 and we're left 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.

On to step 16:
138 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254954.65217391
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 254954.65217391 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
