We look at the division of 38973061 by 253 
Let's see how many times 253 fits into 38973061.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 253, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 253

Moving on to step 2:
38 divided by 253 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 253

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 253 fits into 389 1 times, leaving a remainder of 136.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 253 away from 389, we end up with 136.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 136, then repeat: 1367 / 253

Advancing to step 4:
The number 253 fits into 1367 5 times, leaving a remainder of 102.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 1265 from 1367, we get 102.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 102, then repeat: 1023 / 253

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1023 by 253, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtracting 1012 from 1023 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 110 / 253

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 253 fits into 110 0 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1540.0
Deduct 0 from 110 and we're left with 110.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 110, then repeat: 1106 / 253

Moving on to step 7:
253 can be fit into 1106 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15404.0
If we subtract 1012 from 1106, we get 94.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 94 and continue with: 941 / 253

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 253 fits into 941 3 times, leaving a remainder of 182.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 154043.0
Subtract 759 from 941 to get 182.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

Step 9:
1820 divided by 253 is 7 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 154043.7
Subtract 1771 from 1820 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 490 by 253, we get 1 with a remainder of 237.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154043.71
If we take 253 away from 490, we end up with 237.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
253 goes into 2370 9 times with a remainder of 93.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154043.719
Subtract 2277 from 2370 to get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
253 can be fit into 930 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 154043.7193
If we take 759 away from 930, we end up with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 253 fits into 1710 6 times, leaving a remainder of 192.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154043.71936
Deduct 1518 from 1710 and we're left with 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 1920 by 253, we get 7 with a remainder of 149.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 154043.719367
Subtracting 1771 from 1920 leaves us with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 1490 by 253, we get 5 and a remainder of 225.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154043.7193675
Deduct 1265 from 1490 and we're left with 225.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 2250 by 253, we get 8 and a remainder of 226.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154043.71936758
If we subtract 2024 from 2250, we get 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 154043.71936758 and a remainder of 2.26e-07.
