We look at the division of 38982585 by 143 
We're looking to find how many times 143 goes into 38982585.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 143, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 143

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 143, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 143

On to step 3:
143 goes into 389 2 times with a remainder of 103.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 286 from 389 leaves us with 103.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 103, then carry on: 1038 / 143

Step 4:
The number 143 fits into 1038 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 1001 from 1038, we get 37.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 372 / 143

Moving on to step 5:
The number 143 fits into 372 2 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtract 286 from 372 to get 86.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 865 / 143

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 865 by 143, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2726.0
Subtracting 858 from 865 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 143

On to step 7:
143 can be fit into 78 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27260.0
Subtract 0 from 78 to get 78.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 785 / 143

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 143 fits into 785 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 272605.0
If we take 715 away from 785, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
700 divided by 143 is 4 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 272605.4
If we subtract 572 from 700, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1280 by 143, we get 8 and a remainder of 136.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272605.48
If we take 1144 away from 1280, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
143 can be fit into 1360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272605.489
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 1287 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
143 goes into 730 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 272605.4895
Subtracting 715 from 730 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 150 by 143, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 272605.48951
If we subtract 143 from 150, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
70 divided by 143 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272605.48951
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
700 divided by 143 is 4 with a remainder of 128.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 272605.4895104
The remainder is 128 after subtracting 572 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 16:
143 goes into 1280 8 times with a remainder of 136.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 272605.48951048
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 1144 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 272605.48951048, and the remainder is 1.36e-07.
