We divide 188172 by 738
Our goal is to divide 188172 by 738.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 738 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 738

Step 2:
When dividing 18 by 738, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 738

Step 3:
738 can be fit into 188 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 188, we get 188.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 188 and repeat the process: 1881 / 738

Going ahead to step 4:
738 goes into 1881 2 times with a remainder of 405.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1476 from 1881 leaves us with 405.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 405, then carry on: 4057 / 738

Step 5:
738 can be fit into 4057 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 367.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 367 after subtracting 3690 from 4057.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 367, then repeat: 3672 / 738

On to step 6:
The number 738 fits into 3672 4 times, leaving a remainder of 720.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
The remainder is 720 after subtracting 2952 from 3672.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 7200 by 738, we get 9 with a remainder of 558.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.9
Deduct 6642 from 7200 and we're left with 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
738 goes into 5580 7 times with a remainder of 414.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.97
The remainder is 414 after subtracting 5166 from 5580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
738 goes into 4140 5 times with a remainder of 450.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.975
If we subtract 3690 from 4140, we get 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
4500 divided by 738 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254.9756
Subtract 4428 from 4500 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
738 goes into 720 0 times with a remainder of 720.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 254.9756
If we take 0 away from 720, we end up with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 7200 by 738, we get 9 with a remainder of 558.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 254.975609
Subtracting 6642 from 7200 leaves us with 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 738 fits into 5580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 414.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.9756097
Deduct 5166 from 5580 and we're left with 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
4140 divided by 738 is 5 with a remainder of 450.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.97560975
If we take 3690 away from 4140, we end up with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 254.97560975, with a leftover of 4.5e-07.
