We're dividing 122857 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 122857.

Going ahead to step 1:
38 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 12 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 38

On to step 3:
When dividing 122 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 114 from 122 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 76 from 88 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
38 can be fit into 125 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323.0
If we subtract 114 from 125, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 117 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3233.0
If we subtract 114 from 117, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3233.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3233.07
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.

On to step 9:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3233.078
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.

Step 10:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3233.0789
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3233.07894
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left with 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 12:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3233.078947
Subtracting 266 from 280 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3233.0789473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left 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 14:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3233.07894736
Subtracting 228 from 260 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3233.07894736 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
