We divide 596041 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 596041 can be divided by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
38 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 38

On to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 59 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 38

On to step 3:
38 goes into 216 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 190 from 216.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 38

On to step 5:
When dividing 324 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1568.0
Deduct 304 from 324 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 201 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
38 goes into 201 5 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15685.0
If we subtract 190 from 201, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15685.2
Subtracting 76 from 110 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.

Moving on to step 8:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15685.28
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15685.289
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15685.2894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15685.28947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15685.289473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15685.2894736
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15685.28947368
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.

The final outcome is 15685.28947368, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
