We divide 489829 by 38
Our goal is to divide 489829 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 48, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 109 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 76 from 109 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 338 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
If we subtract 304 from 338, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 342 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 342 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1289.0
Subtracting 342 from 342 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
38 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12890.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12890.2
Subtract 76 from 90 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12890.23
If we take 114 away from 140, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12890.236
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
38 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.2368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12890.23684
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12890.236842
If we subtract 76 from 80, we get 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 13:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12890.2368421
If we subtract 38 from 40, we get 2.
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 14:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.2368421
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

The final result is 12890.2368421 with a remainder of 2e-08.
