We're dividing 197038 by 38 
We want to divide 197038 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 197 / 38

On to step 3:
38 can be fit into 197 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 190 from 197 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 70 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 38 from 70 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 323 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
323 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 518.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 304 from 323.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
198 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5185.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 190 from 198.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5185.2
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5185.21
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5185.21
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5185.2105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5185.21052
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up 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 12:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5185.210526
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5185.2105263
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5185.21052631
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5185.21052631 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
