Let's divide 502743 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 502743.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 38

On to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 50 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 122 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 114 from 122 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
38 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 132.0
Deduct 76 from 87 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 114 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1323.0
Subtracting 114 from 114 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13230.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13230.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13230.07
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13230.078
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 304 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13230.0789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13230.07894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13230.078947
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.

Step 13:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13230.0789473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13230.07894736
Deduct 228 from 260 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13230.07894736 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
