Let's divide 972692 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 972692.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 97 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 212 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 190 from 212 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 226 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 goes into 226 5 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 255.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 190 from 226.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 369 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2559.0
If we take 342 away from 369, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 272 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25597.0
If we take 266 away from 272, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
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: 25597.1
Deduct 38 from 60 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25597.15
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.

Advancing to step 9:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25597.157
If we subtract 266 from 300, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25597.1578
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 304 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25597.15789
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25597.157894
If we take 152 away from 180, we end up 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 13:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25597.1578947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25597.15789473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 25597.15789473 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
