493817 divided by 38 
We want to divide 493817 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 49, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
113 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 37.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 76 away from 113, we end up with 37.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 378 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 129.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 342 from 378.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 361 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 361 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1299.0
Subtracting 342 from 361 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 38

Step 6:
38 can be fit into 197 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12995.0
If we take 190 away from 197, we end up with 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:
When dividing 70 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12995.1
Subtracting 38 from 70 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12995.18
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12995.184
Subtract 152 from 160 to 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:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12995.1842
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12995.18421
Deduct 38 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12995.18421
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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 13:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12995.1842105
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.

Advancing to step 14:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12995.18421052
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12995.18421052 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
