We look at the division of 38203684 by 997 
We're looking to find how many times 997 goes into 38203684.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 997

Let's proceed to step 2:
997 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 382 / 997

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 382 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 382.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 382 after subtracting 0 from 382.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 382, then carry on: 3820 / 997

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 997 fits into 3820 3 times, leaving a remainder of 829.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 2991 from 3820 leaves us with 829.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 829 and continue: 8293 / 997

Step 5:
997 can be fit into 8293 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 317.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 7976 from 8293 to get 317.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 317, then carry on: 3176 / 997

Moving on to step 6:
3176 divided by 997 is 3 with a remainder of 185.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 383.0
If we take 2991 away from 3176, we end up with 185.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 185 and continue: 1858 / 997

On to step 7:
1858 divided by 997 is 1 with a remainder of 861.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3831.0
Subtract 997 from 1858 to get 861.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 861, then repeat: 8614 / 997

Going ahead to step 8:
997 goes into 8614 8 times with a remainder of 638.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38318.0
Deduct 7976 from 8614 and we're left with 638.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6380, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
997 goes into 6380 6 times with a remainder of 398.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38318.6
The remainder is 398 after subtracting 5982 from 6380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
997 goes into 3980 3 times with a remainder of 989.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38318.63
Subtract 2991 from 3980 to get 989.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
997 goes into 9890 9 times with a remainder of 917.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 38318.639
If we subtract 8973 from 9890, we get 917.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
997 can be fit into 9170 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 197.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38318.6399
Deduct 8973 from 9170 and we're left with 197.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1970, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 38318.6399 with a balance of 0.00197.
