We look at the division of 12038475 by 288 
We're looking to find how many times 288 goes into 12038475.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 288, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 288

Going ahead to step 2:
288 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 288

On to step 3:
If we divide 120 by 288, we get 0 and a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 120, then repeat: 1203 / 288

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 288 fits into 1203 4 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 1152 away from 1203, we end up with 51.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 518 / 288

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 288 fits into 518 1 times, leaving a remainder of 230.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 288 from 518 and we're left with 230.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 230, then carry on: 2304 / 288

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 2304 by 288, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 418.0
Deduct 2304 from 2304 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 288

Advancing to step 7:
7 divided by 288 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4180.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 288

Advancing to step 8:
The number 288 fits into 75 0 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41800.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 0 from 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
288 goes into 750 2 times with a remainder of 174.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 41800.2
Subtract 576 from 750 to get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 1740 by 288, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 41800.26
Subtracting 1728 from 1740 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
288 goes into 120 0 times with a remainder of 120.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41800.26
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
288 can be fit into 1200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 41800.2604
Subtract 1152 from 1200 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
480 divided by 288 is 1 with a remainder of 192.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41800.26041
Subtracting 288 from 480 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 288 fits into 1920 6 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41800.260416
Subtracting 1728 from 1920 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
288 goes into 1920 6 times with a remainder of 192.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41800.2604166
Subtracting 1728 from 1920 leaves us with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

The final result is 41800.2604166 with a remainder of 1.92e-06.
