We look at the division of 38215 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 38215 can be divided by 17.

Step 1:
17 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 34 from 38 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 17

Step 3:
17 goes into 42 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 34 from 42 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 17

On to step 4:
If we divide 81 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtract 68 from 81 to get 13.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 135 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 135 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2247.0
If we subtract 119 from 135, we 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 6:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2247.9
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2247.94
Subtract 68 from 70 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 8:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2247.941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2247.9411
If we subtract 17 from 30, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2247.9411 with a remaining 0.00013.
