Let's divide 255877 by 38
We want to divide 255877 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 goes into 255 6 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 228 from 255 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 278 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 266 from 278.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 38

On to step 5:
127 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 673.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 114 from 127.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 137 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6733.0
Deduct 114 from 137 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
38 goes into 230 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6733.6
Deduct 228 from 230 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6733.6
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6733.605
Subtract 190 from 200 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6733.6052
Subtract 76 from 100 to 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:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6733.60526
Subtract 228 from 240 to 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.

Advancing to step 12:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6733.605263
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6733.6052631
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 38 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6733.60526315
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6733.60526315 with a balance of 3e-08.
