We're dividing 38507 by 98 
We want to divide 38507 by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
98 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
38 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 385 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
98 goes into 385 3 times with a remainder of 91.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 294 from 385.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 91, then carry on: 910 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
910 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 882 away from 910, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 287 2 times, leaving a remainder of 91.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 392.0
Deduct 196 from 287 and we're left with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
910 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 392.9
If we subtract 882 from 910, 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 392.92
Subtracting 196 from 280 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
98 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 392.928
Subtracting 784 from 840 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
560 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 392.9285
If we take 490 away from 560, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 392.92857
If we take 686 away from 700, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 140 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 392.928571
If we subtract 98 from 140, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
420 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 392.9285714
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 392.92857142
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 196 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 392.92857142 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
