551990 divided by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 551990.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
38 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 55 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 171 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 171 4 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 152 from 171 to get 19.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
199 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 9.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 145.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 190 from 199.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1452.0
Subtracting 76 from 99 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 230 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14526.0
Subtract 228 from 230 to get 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 7:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14526.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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 8:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14526.05
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.

Step 9:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14526.052
Deduct 76 from 100 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14526.0526
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 11:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14526.05263
Deduct 114 from 120 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14526.052631
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14526.0526315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
38 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14526.05263157
Subtract 266 from 300 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14526.05263157 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
