486971 divided by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 486971.

Moving on to step 1:
38 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 48 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 106 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 76 from 106 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 309 / 38

On to step 4:
If we divide 309 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Deduct 304 from 309 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 can be fit into 57 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1281.0
Deduct 38 from 57 and we're left with 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 191 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12815.0
Subtract 190 from 191 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12815.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12815.02
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.

Step 9:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12815.026
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12815.0263
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12815.02631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12815.026315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12815.0263157
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12815.02631578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 12815.02631578 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
