We're dividing 38542981 by 537 
Let's see how many times 537 fits into 38542981.

Going ahead to step 1:
537 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 537

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 537, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 385 / 537

Step 3:
When dividing 385 by 537, we get 0 with a remainder of 385.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 385, we get 385.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 385, then repeat: 3854 / 537

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 3854 by 537, we get 7 with a remainder of 95.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Deduct 3759 from 3854 and we're left with 95.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 95 and repeat the process: 952 / 537

Step 5:
If we divide 952 by 537, we get 1 and a remainder of 415.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 537 from 952 leaves us with 415.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 415 and continue with: 4159 / 537

Advancing to step 6:
The number 537 fits into 4159 7 times, leaving a remainder of 400.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 717.0
Subtract 3759 from 4159 to get 400.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 400, then carry on: 4008 / 537

Step 7:
537 can be fit into 4008 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 249.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7177.0
If we subtract 3759 from 4008, we get 249.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 249, then carry on: 2491 / 537

Going ahead to step 8:
537 goes into 2491 4 times with a remainder of 343.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71774.0
Deduct 2148 from 2491 and we're left with 343.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 537 fits into 3430 6 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 71774.6
If we subtract 3222 from 3430, we get 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
537 can be fit into 2080 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 469.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 71774.63
Subtracting 1611 from 2080 leaves us with 469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4690, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 4690 by 537, we get 8 and a remainder of 394.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71774.638
Deduct 4296 from 4690 and we're left with 394.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3940, and continue the process.

Step 12:
3940 divided by 537 is 7 with a remainder of 181.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71774.6387
Subtracting 3759 from 3940 leaves us with 181.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
1810 divided by 537 is 3 with a remainder of 199.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 71774.63873
If we subtract 1611 from 1810, we get 199.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1990, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 537 fits into 1990 3 times, leaving a remainder of 379.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71774.638733
Deduct 1611 from 1990 and we're left with 379.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3790, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 71774.638733 and a remainder of 3.79e-05.
