We look at the division of 538961 by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 538961 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 53 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 158 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
158 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 152 from 158 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141.0
Subtract 38 from 69 to get 31.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 316 / 38

On to step 5:
If we divide 316 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1418.0
If we subtract 304 from 316, we get 12.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 goes into 121 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14183.0
If we take 114 away from 121, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14183.1
If we subtract 38 from 70, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 14183.18
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14183.184
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14183.1842
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up 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 11:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14183.18421
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 14183.18421
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14183.1842105
If we take 190 away from 200, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14183.18421052
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up 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.

Our division results in 14183.18421052 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
