We divide 477211 by 38
Our goal is to divide 477211 by 38.

On to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 47 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 76 away from 97, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 212 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
Deduct 190 from 212 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 221 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 221 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1255.0
Deduct 190 from 221 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 311 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 311 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12558.0
Subtracting 304 from 311 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12558.1
If we take 38 away from 70, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 8:
320 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12558.18
If we take 304 away from 320, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12558.184
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12558.1842
Subtract 76 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12558.18421
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.

Moving on to step 12:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12558.18421
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12558.1842105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12558.18421052
Deduct 76 from 100 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12558.18421052 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
