We divide 216581 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 216581.

On to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 38

On to step 2:
38 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 216 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 216 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 190 from 216 to get 26.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 265 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
265 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 228 away from 265, we end up with 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 378 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 569.0
If we take 342 away from 378, we end up with 36.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 361 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 361 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5699.0
Subtracting 342 from 361 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5699.5
If we take 190 away from 190, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
38 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5699.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
38 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5699.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5699.5 with a remaining 0.0.
