We look at the division of 38982159 by 782 
We're looking to find how many times 782 goes into 38982159.

Advancing to step 1:
782 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 782

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 782, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 389 / 782

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 389 by 782, we get 0 and a remainder of 389.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 389, we end up with 389.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 389 and continue: 3898 / 782

Going ahead to step 4:
782 can be fit into 3898 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 770.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 770 after subtracting 3128 from 3898.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 770 and continue with: 7702 / 782

Advancing to step 5:
782 can be fit into 7702 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 664.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 7038 from 7702 to get 664.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 664 and repeat the process: 6641 / 782

On to step 6:
When dividing 6641 by 782, we get 8 with a remainder of 385.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
Subtract 6256 from 6641 to get 385.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 385, then repeat: 3855 / 782

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 3855 by 782, we get 4 and a remainder of 727.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4984.0
Subtracting 3128 from 3855 leaves us with 727.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 727, then repeat: 7279 / 782

On to step 8:
782 can be fit into 7279 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 241.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49849.0
Subtract 7038 from 7279 to get 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
2410 divided by 782 is 3 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 49849.3
Deduct 2346 from 2410 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 782, we get 0 and a remainder of 640.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49849.3
If we subtract 0 from 640, we get 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
6400 divided by 782 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49849.308
If we take 6256 away from 6400, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 782 fits into 1440 1 times, leaving a remainder of 658.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49849.3081
If we take 782 away from 1440, we end up with 658.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
6580 divided by 782 is 8 with a remainder of 324.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49849.30818
If we subtract 6256 from 6580, we get 324.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
782 can be fit into 3240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49849.308184
If we take 3128 away from 3240, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 782 fits into 1120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 338.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49849.3081841
Deduct 782 from 1120 and we're left with 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
782 goes into 3380 4 times with a remainder of 252.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49849.30818414
Subtract 3128 from 3380 to get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 49849.30818414 and a remainder of 2.52e-07.
