493296 ÷ 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 493296.

Step 1:
The number 38 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 49, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 113 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 113 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 76 from 113 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 372 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 372 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 30.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Subtracting 342 from 372 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 38

Step 5:
309 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1298.0
If we subtract 304 from 309, we get 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 56 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12981.0
Subtracting 38 from 56 leaves us 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 7:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12981.4
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12981.47
Subtract 266 from 280 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12981.473
If we subtract 114 from 140, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12981.4736
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12981.47368
Subtract 304 from 320 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
38 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12981.473684
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12981.4736842
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12981.47368421
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12981.47368421 with a remaining 2e-09.
