We're dividing 55431270 by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 55431270 can be divided by 38.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 55 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
174 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 152 away from 174, we end up with 22.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 223 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 goes into 223 5 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 190 from 223.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 331 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 331 8 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1458.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 304 from 331.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 272 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
38 can be fit into 272 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14587.0
If we take 266 away from 272, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 38

Going ahead to step 7:
38 can be fit into 67 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145871.0
If we take 38 away from 67, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 290 / 38

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1458717.0
Subtracting 266 from 290 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1458717.6
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1458717.63
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1458717.631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1458717.6315
If we subtract 190 from 220, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1458717.63157
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.

Step 14:
The number 38 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1458717.631578
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.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1458717.6315789
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 16:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1458717.63157894
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.

Our division results in 1458717.63157894 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
