154984 ÷ 38 
Our goal is to divide 154984 by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
38 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 154 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 152 from 154, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
29 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 goes into 298 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 407.0
If we subtract 266 from 298, we get 32.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 324 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 324 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4078.0
Subtract 304 from 324 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 7:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4078.5
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.

On to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4078.52
Subtracting 76 from 100 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4078.526
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4078.5263
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4078.52631
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4078.526315
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
38 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4078.5263157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4078.52631578
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us 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.

The final result is 4078.52631578 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
