We divide 981785 by 38
We want to divide 981785 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
38 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 38

Step 2:
The number 38 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 76 away from 98, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 221 5 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 190 from 221.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 317 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 258.0
Deduct 304 from 317 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 goes into 138 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2583.0
Deduct 114 from 138 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
245 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25836.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 228 from 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
170 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 25836.4
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 152 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25836.44
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 25836.44 with a remainder of 0.028.
