Let's divide 821546 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 821546 can be divided by 38.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 82 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 76 from 82.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 61 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 38 from 61 to get 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 235 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 216.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 228 from 235.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
38 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2161.0
If we take 38 away from 74, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 366 / 38

On to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 366 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21619.0
Subtracting 342 from 366 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 240 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21619.6
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
120 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21619.63
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21619.631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 10:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21619.6315
Subtracting 190 from 220 leaves us 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 11:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21619.63157
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.

Advancing to step 12:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21619.631578
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up 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.

Step 13:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21619.6315789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21619.63157894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 21619.63157894 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
