We're dividing 38963542 by 538 
Our goal is to divide 38963542 by 538.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 538 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 538

On to step 2:
538 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 389 / 538

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 389 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 389.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 389 to get 389.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 389 and continue with: 3896 / 538

Advancing to step 4:
538 can be fit into 3896 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 130 after subtracting 3766 from 3896.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 130 and continue: 1303 / 538

Step 5:
If we divide 1303 by 538, we get 2 and a remainder of 227.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 1076 from 1303 and we're left with 227.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 227, then repeat: 2275 / 538

On to step 6:
538 can be fit into 2275 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 724.0
Deduct 2152 from 2275 and we're left with 123.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 123 and continue: 1234 / 538

Advancing to step 7:
538 can be fit into 1234 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7242.0
If we subtract 1076 from 1234, we get 158.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 158, then carry on: 1582 / 538

Step 8:
When dividing 1582 by 538, we get 2 with a remainder of 506.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72422.0
Deduct 1076 from 1582 and we're left with 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 5060 by 538, we get 9 with a remainder of 218.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72422.9
If we take 4842 away from 5060, we end up with 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
538 can be fit into 2180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 72422.94
Subtracting 2152 from 2180 leaves us with 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:
538 goes into 280 0 times with a remainder of 280.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72422.94
The remainder is 280 after subtracting 0 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 2800 by 538, we get 5 and a remainder of 110.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72422.9405
If we subtract 2690 from 2800, we get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1100 divided by 538 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72422.94052
If we subtract 1076 from 1100, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
538 goes into 240 0 times with a remainder of 240.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72422.94052
Subtracting 0 from 240 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
538 goes into 2400 4 times with a remainder of 248.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72422.9405204
Subtracting 2152 from 2400 leaves us with 248.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2480, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 538 fits into 2480 4 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72422.94052044
If we subtract 2152 from 2480, we get 328.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 72422.94052044 and a remainder of 3.28e-07.
