Let's divide 51279928 by 38
We want to divide 51279928 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
38 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 goes into 51 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 51, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 132 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 132 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 114 from 132 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 187 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 134.0
If we take 152 away from 187, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 359 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 359 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1349.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 342 from 359.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 179 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13494.0
Subtracting 152 from 179 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 38

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 272 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134947.0
Subtract 266 from 272 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 38

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1349471.0
Deduct 38 from 68 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1349471.7
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1349471.78
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1349471.789
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 342 from 360.
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 12:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1349471.7894
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1349471.78947
If we take 266 away from 280, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1349471.789473
Subtracting 114 from 140 leaves us 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 15:
The number 38 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1349471.7894736
Subtract 228 from 260 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1349471.78947368
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1349471.78947368 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
