55586 ÷ 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 55586.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 55, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 175 / 38

On to step 3:
175 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 152 from 175 and we're left with 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 can be fit into 238 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we subtract 228 from 238, we get 10.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 106 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
106 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1462.0
Subtracting 76 from 106 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1462.7
If we take 266 away from 300, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1462.78
Subtract 304 from 340 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1462.789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1462.7894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1462.78947
Subtract 266 from 280 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1462.789473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1462.7894736
If we subtract 228 from 260, 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 13:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1462.78947368
Subtract 304 from 320 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1462.78947368 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
