We look at the division of 973966 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 973966.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 97 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 213 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 213 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 190 away from 213, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 239 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
If we subtract 228 from 239, we get 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 can be fit into 116 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2563.0
If we subtract 114 from 116, we get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
26 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25630.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25630.6
Subtract 228 from 260 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25630.68
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 25630.684
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25630.6842
Deduct 76 from 80 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 25630.68421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25630.68421
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25630.6842105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
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 14:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25630.68421052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 25630.68421052 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
