We divide 488252 by 38
We want to divide 488252 by 38.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 38 from 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 108 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 76 from 108 to get 32.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 322 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
322 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtract 304 from 322 to get 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 goes into 185 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1284.0
If we take 152 away from 185, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
38 can be fit into 332 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12848.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 304 from 332.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12848.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12848.73
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.

Advancing to step 9:
38 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12848.736
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12848.7368
Subtract 304 from 320 to 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12848.73684
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 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.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12848.736842
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us with 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:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12848.7368421
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12848.7368421
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12848.7368421 and a remainder of 2e-08.
