We divide 11878749 by 538
We're looking to find how many times 538 goes into 11878749.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 538

Going ahead to step 2:
11 divided by 538 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 538

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 538 fits into 118 0 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 0 from 118.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 118, then carry on: 1187 / 538

Step 4:
538 can be fit into 1187 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 111.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1076 from 1187, we get 111.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 111 and continue: 1118 / 538

On to step 5:
538 goes into 1118 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 1076 from 1118 to get 42.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 538

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 427 by 538, we get 0 and a remainder of 427.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 220.0
The remainder is 427 after subtracting 0 from 427.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 427, then repeat: 4274 / 538

On to step 7:
If we divide 4274 by 538, we get 7 and a remainder of 508.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2207.0
The remainder is 508 after subtracting 3766 from 4274.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 508 and repeat the process: 5089 / 538

Let's proceed to step 8:
538 can be fit into 5089 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 247.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22079.0
If we take 4842 away from 5089, we end up with 247.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 2470 by 538, we get 4 with a remainder of 318.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22079.4
If we subtract 2152 from 2470, we get 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 3180 by 538, we get 5 with a remainder of 490.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22079.45
If we take 2690 away from 3180, we end up with 490.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
538 goes into 4900 9 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22079.459
Subtract 4842 from 4900 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 580 by 538, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22079.4591
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 538 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 420 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 420.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22079.4591
If we subtract 0 from 420, we get 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
538 goes into 4200 7 times with a remainder of 434.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22079.459107
Subtracting 3766 from 4200 leaves us with 434.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4340, and continue the process.

Step 15:
4340 divided by 538 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22079.4591078
If we take 4304 away from 4340, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
538 can be fit into 360 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 360.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22079.4591078
Deduct 0 from 360 and we're left with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22079.4591078 with a remaining 3.6e-07.
