Let's divide 651988 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 651988 can be divided by 38.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 38

Step 2:
65 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 65 to get 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
38 can be fit into 271 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 266 from 271, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 59 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 171.0
If we take 38 away from 59, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 38

On to step 5:
38 can be fit into 218 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1715.0
If we subtract 190 from 218, we get 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 38

On to step 6:
38 goes into 288 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17157.0
Subtracting 266 from 288 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17157.5
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17157.57
If we take 266 away from 300, we end up 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.

Moving on 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: 17157.578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17157.5789
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.

Step 11:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17157.57894
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17157.578947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we 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:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17157.5789473
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 14:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17157.57894736
Subtract 228 from 260 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 17157.57894736 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
