We're dividing 817972 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 817972 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 81 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 76 from 81 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 38 from 57.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 199 / 38

Step 4:
38 goes into 199 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we take 190 away from 199, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
97 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2152.0
Subtracting 76 from 97 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 38

Step 6:
If we divide 212 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21525.0
Subtract 190 from 212 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21525.5
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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 8:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21525.57
Deduct 266 from 300 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21525.578
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.

On to step 10:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21525.5789
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 342 from 360.
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.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21525.57894
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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21525.578947
Subtract 266 from 280 to 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21525.5789473
Subtracting 114 from 140 leaves us 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 14:
When dividing 260 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21525.57894736
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21525.57894736, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
