38491924 ÷ 278 
We want to divide 38491924 by 278.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 278 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 278

Moving on to step 2:
278 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 384 / 278

Moving on to step 3:
384 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 106.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 278 from 384.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 106 and repeat the process: 1069 / 278

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1069 by 278, we get 3 with a remainder of 235.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 235 after subtracting 834 from 1069.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 235 and repeat the process: 2351 / 278

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 2351 by 278, we get 8 and a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
The remainder is 127 after subtracting 2224 from 2351.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1279 / 278

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1279 by 278, we get 4 and a remainder of 167.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1384.0
Subtracting 1112 from 1279 leaves us with 167.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 167, then carry on: 1672 / 278

On to step 7:
278 can be fit into 1672 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13846.0
If we subtract 1668 from 1672, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 278

Step 8:
If we divide 44 by 278, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138460.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 0 from 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
440 divided by 278 is 1 with a remainder of 162.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138460.1
Deduct 278 from 440 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1620 by 278, we get 5 and a remainder of 230.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138460.15
Subtracting 1390 from 1620 leaves us with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
278 can be fit into 2300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 138460.158
Deduct 2224 from 2300 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 278 fits into 760 2 times, leaving a remainder of 204.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138460.1582
Deduct 556 from 760 and we're left with 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
278 can be fit into 2040 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138460.15827
Subtract 1946 from 2040 to get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 940 by 278, we get 3 and a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138460.158273
Deduct 834 from 940 and we're left with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
278 goes into 1060 3 times with a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 138460.1582733
Deduct 834 from 1060 and we're left with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 138460.1582733 with a remaining 2.26e-06.
