742267 divided by 38 
Our goal is to divide 742267 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 38

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 74 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 362 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 342 from 362.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 202 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 195.0
If we subtract 190 from 202, we get 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 goes into 126 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1953.0
If we take 114 away from 126, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 127 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19533.0
Deduct 114 from 127 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
130 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19533.3
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 114 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19533.34
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19533.342
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 19533.3421
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19533.3421
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19533.342105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19533.3421052
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 76 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19533.34210526
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final result is 19533.34210526 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
