208423 ÷ 38 
Our goal is to divide 208423 by 38.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
208 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 190 from 208 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 184 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
184 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 152 from 184 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 322 / 38

Step 5:
38 can be fit into 322 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtract 304 from 322 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 183 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5484.0
If we take 152 away from 183, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5484.8
Subtract 304 from 310 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5484.81
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5484.815
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 190 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
38 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5484.8157
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.

Step 11:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5484.81578
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5484.815789
Subtract 342 from 360 to 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.

Step 13:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5484.8157894
If we subtract 152 from 180, 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 14:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5484.81578947
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5484.81578947, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
