451297 divided by 38 
Our goal is to divide 451297 by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 45 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 38 from 45.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
38 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 38 from 71 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 332 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
38 goes into 332 8 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 304 from 332.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 38

On to step 5:
289 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1187.0
Deduct 266 from 289 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
38 can be fit into 237 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11876.0
If we subtract 228 from 237, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11876.2
Subtract 76 from 90 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11876.23
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 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 9:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11876.236
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.

Step 10:
320 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11876.2368
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11876.23684
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 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 12:
The number 38 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11876.236842
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11876.2368421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
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 14:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11876.2368421
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.

The final outcome is 11876.2368421, with a leftover of 2e-08.
