Let's divide 408685 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 408685.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 286 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 286 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 107.0
Deduct 266 from 286 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 38

Step 5:
When dividing 208 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1075.0
Subtracting 190 from 208 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
185 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10754.0
Subtracting 152 from 185 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 330 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10754.8
If we take 304 away from 330, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10754.86
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 9:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10754.868
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10754.8684
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10754.86842
Deduct 76 from 80 and we're left 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 12:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10754.868421
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10754.868421
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 14:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10754.86842105
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10754.86842105 with a balance of 1e-08.
