42980 divided by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 42980.

Step 1:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 42 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 42 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 38

On to step 3:
When dividing 49 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 38 from 49 to get 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 118 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 114 away from 118, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 40 / 38

On to step 5:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1131.0
Deduct 38 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 6:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1131.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1131.05
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
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:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1131.0526
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.05263
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.052631
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.

On to step 12:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1131.0526315
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1131.05263157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 1131.05263157, with a leftover of 3.4e-08.
