128487 divided by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 128487.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 128 3 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 114 from 128 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 goes into 144 3 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 114 away from 144, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
308 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 338.0
Deduct 304 from 308 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
38 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3381.0
If we take 38 away from 47, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3381.2
Subtracting 76 from 90 leaves us with 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:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3381.23
If we take 114 away from 140, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3381.236
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 3381.2368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3381.23684
Deduct 152 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3381.236842
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.

On to step 13:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3381.2368421
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3381.2368421
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3381.2368421 with a balance of 2e-08.
