We're dividing 149740 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 149740.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
149 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 114 from 149 to get 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 357 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 342 away from 357, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 154 / 38

On to step 5:
38 goes into 154 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 394.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 152 from 154.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3940.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3940.5
Subtract 190 from 200 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3940.52
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 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 9:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3940.526
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.

Advancing to step 10:
120 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3940.5263
Subtract 114 from 120 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3940.52631
Deduct 38 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3940.526315
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.

Step 13:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3940.5263157
If we take 266 away from 300, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3940.52631578
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 304 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3940.52631578 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
