We divide 272145 by 38
Our goal is to divide 272145 by 38.

Step 1:
38 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 272 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 266 away from 272, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 61 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 38 from 61 leaves us with 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 38

On to step 5:
If we divide 234 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 716.0
If we take 228 away from 234, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 65 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7161.0
If we take 38 away from 65, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
38 can be fit into 270 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7161.7
Subtracting 266 from 270 leaves us 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 8:
When dividing 40 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7161.71
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7161.71
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7161.7105
Deduct 190 from 200 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7161.71052
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7161.710526
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7161.7105263
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7161.71052631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 7161.71052631 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
