We're dividing 38685031 by 698 
We want to divide 38685031 by 698.

Going ahead to step 1:
698 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 698

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 698, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 386 / 698

Going ahead to step 3:
698 goes into 386 0 times with a remainder of 386.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 386 and we're left with 386.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 386 and repeat the process: 3868 / 698

Advancing to step 4:
3868 divided by 698 is 5 with a remainder of 378.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 3490 from 3868 leaves us with 378.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 378 and repeat the process: 3785 / 698

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 3785 by 698, we get 5 and a remainder of 295.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 3490 away from 3785, we end up with 295.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 295 and continue: 2950 / 698

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2950 by 698, we get 4 with a remainder of 158.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 554.0
Subtract 2792 from 2950 to get 158.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 158 and continue: 1583 / 698

Step 7:
When dividing 1583 by 698, we get 2 with a remainder of 187.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5542.0
Subtracting 1396 from 1583 leaves us with 187.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 187 and continue: 1871 / 698

Step 8:
When dividing 1871 by 698, we get 2 with a remainder of 475.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55422.0
Subtract 1396 from 1871 to get 475.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 698 fits into 4750 6 times, leaving a remainder of 562.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55422.6
If we take 4188 away from 4750, we end up with 562.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 698 fits into 5620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55422.68
Subtract 5584 from 5620 to get 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 11:
698 goes into 360 0 times with a remainder of 360.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55422.68
Subtracting 0 from 360 leaves us with 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
698 goes into 3600 5 times with a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55422.6805
If we subtract 3490 from 3600, we get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1100 by 698, we get 1 with a remainder of 402.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55422.68051
Subtract 698 from 1100 to get 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Step 14:
698 goes into 4020 5 times with a remainder of 530.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55422.680515
Deduct 3490 from 4020 and we're left with 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5300, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
698 goes into 5300 7 times with a remainder of 414.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55422.6805157
If we take 4886 away from 5300, we end up 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 16:
When dividing 4140 by 698, we get 5 with a remainder of 650.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55422.68051575
If we subtract 3490 from 4140, we get 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55422.68051575 with a balance of 6.5e-07.
