We divide 455578 by 38
We want to divide 455578 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
38 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 45 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 45 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 goes into 75 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 38 from 75.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 375 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 375 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
Deduct 342 from 375 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 38

On to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 337 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1198.0
Deduct 304 from 337 and we're left with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 338 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11988.0
Deduct 304 from 338 and we're left 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 7:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11988.8
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11988.89
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 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 9:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11988.894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11988.8947
Subtracting 266 from 280 leaves us with 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 11:
The number 38 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11988.89473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
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:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11988.894736
If we subtract 228 from 260, we 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.

On to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11988.8947368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11988.89473684
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11988.89473684 with a remaining 8e-09.
