478386 divided by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 478386.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 38

On to step 2:
38 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 47, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 76 from 98 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 can be fit into 223 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 190 from 223.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 338 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1258.0
Subtract 304 from 338 to get 34.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 346 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12589.0
Subtract 342 from 346 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12589.1
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12589.1
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12589.105
Deduct 190 from 200 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12589.1052
If we subtract 76 from 100, 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.

Step 11:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12589.10526
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
120 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12589.105263
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12589.1052631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 14:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12589.10526315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 12589.10526315, with a leftover of 3e-08.
