842991 ÷ 38 
We want to divide 842991 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 84 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
82 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 76 from 82 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
69 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 221.0
Subtracting 38 from 69 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 319 8 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2218.0
If we take 304 away from 319, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 can be fit into 151 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22183.0
Deduct 114 from 151 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22183.9
Deduct 342 from 370 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22183.97
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 9:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22183.973
If we take 114 away from 140, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22183.9736
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.

Step 11:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22183.97368
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22183.973684
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22183.9736842
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 22183.97368421
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 22183.97368421, and the remainder is 2e-09.
