68978 ÷ 38 
Our goal is to divide 68978 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
6 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 68 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 38

Step 3:
38 can be fit into 309 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 304 away from 309, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 38

On to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we subtract 38 from 57, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 198 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 goes into 198 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1815.0
Deduct 190 from 198 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1815.2
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.

Advancing to step 7:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1815.21
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1815.21
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1815.2105
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1815.21052
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.

Moving on to step 11:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1815.210526
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1815.2105263
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1815.21052631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1815.21052631, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
