Let's divide 896981 by 38
Our goal is to divide 896981 by 38.

Step 1:
38 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 38

On to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 89 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 goes into 136 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 114 from 136 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 229 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 236.0
Subtract 228 from 229 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2360.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 181 / 38

On to step 6:
If we divide 181 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23604.0
If we take 152 away from 181, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 290 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23604.7
Deduct 266 from 290 and we're left 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 8:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23604.76
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
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 9:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23604.763
If we take 114 away from 120, 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 10:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23604.7631
Subtract 38 from 60 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23604.76315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23604.763157
Deduct 266 from 300 and we're left 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 13:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23604.7631578
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 360 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23604.76315789
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us 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.

The final result is 23604.76315789 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
