144939 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 144939.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 14 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 goes into 144 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 114 from 144.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 309 / 38

Step 4:
If we divide 309 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 304 from 309 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 53 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 381.0
If we take 38 away from 53, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 38

On to step 6:
If we divide 159 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3814.0
If we subtract 152 from 159, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3814.1
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 38 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3814.18
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3814.184
If we subtract 152 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3814.1842
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3814.18421
If we subtract 38 from 40, we 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3814.18421
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3814.1842105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3814.18421052
If we subtract 76 from 100, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 3814.18421052 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
