Let's divide 256636 by 38
We want to divide 256636 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 228 away from 256, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 286 / 38

On to step 4:
38 can be fit into 286 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 266 from 286.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 203 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 203 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 675.0
Deduct 190 from 203 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 136 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6753.0
If we take 114 away from 136, 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 7:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6753.5
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 190 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6753.57
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6753.578
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6753.5789
Subtracting 342 from 360 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 11:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6753.57894
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 280 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6753.578947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6753.5789473
Subtracting 114 from 140 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.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6753.57894736
Subtracting 228 from 260 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6753.57894736 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
