20501 divided by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 20501 can be divided by 38.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 38

Step 2:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
205 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 190 away from 205, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 150 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 114 from 150 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 can be fit into 361 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 539.0
If we take 342 away from 361, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 190 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 539.5
Subtract 190 from 190 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 539.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 539.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 539.5 with a balance of 0.0.
