We're dividing 848541 by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 848541.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 can be fit into 84 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 76 from 84 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 76 away from 88, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 125 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 125 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 223.0
If we subtract 114 from 125, we get 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
114 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2233.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 114 from 114.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22330.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22330.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

On to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22330.02
Subtracting 76 from 100 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.

Step 9:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22330.026
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22330.0263
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 60 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22330.02631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22330.026315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22330.0263157
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.

On to step 14:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22330.02631578
If we subtract 304 from 340, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 22330.02631578 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
