We look at the division of 478944 by 38 
We want to divide 478944 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 47 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
98 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 76 from 98 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 can be fit into 229 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 126.0
Subtracting 228 from 229 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1260.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
38 goes into 144 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12603.0
If we take 114 away from 144, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12603.7
Deduct 266 from 300 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12603.78
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 304 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12603.789
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12603.7894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12603.78947
If we take 266 away from 280, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12603.789473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12603.7894736
Deduct 228 from 260 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12603.78947368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 12603.78947368 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
