481561 ÷ 38 
We want to divide 481561 by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
38 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 38

On to step 2:
48 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 48, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 can be fit into 101 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 76 from 101 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 255 / 38

On to step 4:
If we divide 255 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 126.0
Subtracting 228 from 255 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 276 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1267.0
Subtract 266 from 276 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 101 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12672.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 76 from 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
38 goes into 250 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12672.6
Deduct 228 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12672.65
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12672.657
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12672.6578
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12672.65789
Subtract 342 from 360 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12672.657894
If we take 152 away from 180, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12672.6578947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12672.65789473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12672.65789473 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
