We look at the division of 489831 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 489831 by 38.

Step 1:
38 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 48 to get 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 109 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 76 from 109 to get 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 338 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 304 from 338.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 343 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 343 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1289.0
Subtracting 342 from 343 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
11 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12890.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.2
If we take 76 away from 110, 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.28
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.289
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12890.2894
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12890.28947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left 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 12:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12890.289473
If we take 114 away from 140, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.2894736
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.

On to step 14:
38 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12890.28947368
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12890.28947368, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
