521981 ÷ 38 
We want to divide 521981 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 52, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
141 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 114 from 141 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 279 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
38 goes into 279 7 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 137.0
Subtract 266 from 279 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 38

Step 5:
If we divide 138 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1373.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 114 from 138.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
241 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13736.0
Subtracting 228 from 241 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 130 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13736.3
If we take 114 away from 130, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
38 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13736.34
If we subtract 152 from 160, we 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.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13736.342
If we subtract 76 from 80, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13736.3421
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13736.3421
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13736.342105
Subtracting 190 from 200 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13736.3421052
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13736.34210526
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 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 quotient of the division is 13736.34210526, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
