2538421 ÷ 464 
We're looking to find how many times 464 goes into 2538421.

Going ahead to step 1:
464 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 464

Step 2:
464 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 464

Advancing to step 3:
464 goes into 253 0 times with a remainder of 253.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 253 and we're left with 253.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 253 and continue: 2538 / 464

Step 4:
When dividing 2538 by 464, we get 5 with a remainder of 218.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2320 from 2538, we get 218.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 218 and continue: 2184 / 464

Let's proceed to step 5:
464 goes into 2184 4 times with a remainder of 328.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 1856 away from 2184, we end up with 328.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 328, then repeat: 3282 / 464

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 3282 by 464, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 547.0
If we take 3248 away from 3282, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 341 / 464

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 464 fits into 341 0 times, leaving a remainder of 341.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5470.0
Subtract 0 from 341 to get 341.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3410, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 464 fits into 3410 7 times, leaving a remainder of 162.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5470.7
Deduct 3248 from 3410 and we're left with 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1620 divided by 464 is 3 with a remainder of 228.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5470.73
Subtracting 1392 from 1620 leaves us with 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
2280 divided by 464 is 4 with a remainder of 424.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5470.734
If we subtract 1856 from 2280, we get 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
4240 divided by 464 is 9 with a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5470.7349
Subtracting 4176 from 4240 leaves us 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 12:
If we divide 640 by 464, we get 1 and a remainder of 176.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5470.73491
If we take 464 away from 640, we end up with 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 464 fits into 1760 3 times, leaving a remainder of 368.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5470.734913
Deduct 1392 from 1760 and we're left with 368.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 3680 by 464, we get 7 with a remainder of 432.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5470.7349137
If we take 3248 away from 3680, we end up with 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
464 can be fit into 4320 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5470.73491379
If we subtract 4176 from 4320, we get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5470.73491379 with a balance of 1.44e-07.
