We divide 38698 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 38698 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
46 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
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 386 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 386 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 368 from 386 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 189 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 841.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to 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.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 841.2
Subtract 92 from 120 to 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.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 841.26
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 841.26
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 841.2608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 841.26086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 841.260869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 841.2608695
If we take 230 away from 260, 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.

On to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 841.26086956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 841.26086956 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
