We divide 648271 by 38
We want to divide 648271 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 can be fit into 64 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 38 from 64.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 268 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
268 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 266 from 268 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 170.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 227 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1705.0
Deduct 190 from 227 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 38

On to step 6:
371 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17059.0
If we subtract 342 from 371, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17059.7
If we subtract 266 from 290, 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 8:
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: 17059.76
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17059.763
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.

Step 10:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17059.7631
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 38 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17059.76315
If we subtract 190 from 220, we 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.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17059.763157
Subtract 266 from 300 to get 34.
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 13:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17059.7631578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17059.76315789
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 17059.76315789 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
