298917 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 298917.

On to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 38

On to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 can be fit into 298 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 266 from 298, we get 32.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 329 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 304 from 329.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 251 / 38

Step 5:
The number 38 fits into 251 6 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 786.0
If we subtract 228 from 251, we get 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 38

Step 6:
If we divide 237 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7866.0
If we take 228 away from 237, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 90 2 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7866.2
If we subtract 76 from 90, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7866.23
If we subtract 114 from 140, we get 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 9:
When dividing 260 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7866.236
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.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7866.2368
Deduct 304 from 320 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7866.23684
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7866.236842
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7866.2368421
If we subtract 38 from 40, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7866.2368421
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7866.2368421 with a balance of 2e-08.
