We're dividing 508860 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 508860 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 38 from 50.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 38

Step 3:
128 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 114 from 128 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 38

Step 4:
38 can be fit into 148 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 133.0
If we subtract 114 from 148, we get 34.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 346 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
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: 1339.0
If we subtract 342 from 346, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13391.0
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13391.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13391.05
Subtracting 190 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13391.052
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13391.0526
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 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 11:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13391.05263
If we subtract 114 from 120, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13391.052631
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 13:
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: 13391.0526315
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.

Moving on to step 14:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13391.05263157
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13391.05263157 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
