972832 divided by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 972832.

Step 1:
9 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 38

On to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 76 from 97, we get 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 212 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 190 from 212, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 goes into 228 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Deduct 228 from 228 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 38

On to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2560.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 38

Step 6:
32 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 25600.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25600.8
Subtract 304 from 320 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25600.84
Deduct 152 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25600.842
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.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25600.8421
If we subtract 38 from 40, we 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:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25600.8421
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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: 25600.842105
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 25600.8421052
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.

Advancing to step 14:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 25600.84210526
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 25600.84210526 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
