We're dividing 656284 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 656284.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 65 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 65 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 276 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 276 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 266 from 276 and we're left with 10.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 38

Step 4:
If we divide 102 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
If we subtract 76 from 102, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 38

Step 5:
When dividing 268 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1727.0
Deduct 266 from 268 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17270.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17270.6
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17270.63
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17270.631
Subtract 38 from 60 to 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 10:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17270.6315
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17270.63157
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17270.631578
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 304 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17270.6315789
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.

Advancing to step 14:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17270.63157894
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.

The final outcome is 17270.63157894, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
