We divide 38236243 by 989
We want to divide 38236243 by 989.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 989 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 989

Advancing to step 2:
989 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 382 / 989

On to step 3:
The number 989 fits into 382 0 times, leaving a remainder of 382.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 382 after subtracting 0 from 382.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 382, then repeat: 3823 / 989

Moving on to step 4:
989 can be fit into 3823 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 856.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 856 after subtracting 2967 from 3823.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 856 and continue with: 8566 / 989

Moving on to step 5:
989 can be fit into 8566 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 654.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 654 after subtracting 7912 from 8566.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 654, then carry on: 6542 / 989

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 6542 by 989, we get 6 with a remainder of 608.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 386.0
If we subtract 5934 from 6542, we get 608.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 608 and repeat the process: 6084 / 989

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 6084 by 989, we get 6 with a remainder of 150.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3866.0
Deduct 5934 from 6084 and we're left with 150.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 150 and repeat the process: 1503 / 989

Advancing to step 8:
The number 989 fits into 1503 1 times, leaving a remainder of 514.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38661.0
If we take 989 away from 1503, we end up with 514.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 5140 by 989, we get 5 and a remainder of 195.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38661.5
If we subtract 4945 from 5140, we get 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1950 divided by 989 is 1 with a remainder of 961.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38661.51
If we subtract 989 from 1950, we get 961.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
989 can be fit into 9610 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 709.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38661.519
Subtract 8901 from 9610 to get 709.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7090, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
7090 divided by 989 is 7 with a remainder of 167.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38661.5197
Subtract 6923 from 7090 to get 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
989 goes into 1670 1 times with a remainder of 681.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38661.51971
Deduct 989 from 1670 and we're left with 681.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 6810 by 989, we get 6 with a remainder of 876.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38661.519716
Subtracting 5934 from 6810 leaves us with 876.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8760, and continue the process.

Step 15:
8760 divided by 989 is 8 with a remainder of 848.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38661.5197168
If we subtract 7912 from 8760, we get 848.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
The number 989 fits into 8480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 568.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38661.51971688
If we subtract 7912 from 8480, we get 568.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5680, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 38661.51971688 with a balance of 5.68e-07.
