We're dividing 38684465 by 431 
We want to divide 38684465 by 431.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 431, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 431

Let's proceed to step 2:
431 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 386 / 431

Advancing to step 3:
The number 431 fits into 386 0 times, leaving a remainder of 386.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 386, we get 386.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 386, then repeat: 3868 / 431

Let's proceed to step 4:
3868 divided by 431 is 8 with a remainder of 420.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 3448 from 3868 leaves us with 420.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 420, then carry on: 4204 / 431

Moving on to step 5:
4204 divided by 431 is 9 with a remainder of 325.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 3879 from 4204 and we're left with 325.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 325, then repeat: 3254 / 431

Let's proceed to step 6:
3254 divided by 431 is 7 with a remainder of 237.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 897.0
The remainder is 237 after subtracting 3017 from 3254.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 237 and continue: 2376 / 431

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 2376 by 431, we get 5 with a remainder of 221.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8975.0
Deduct 2155 from 2376 and we're left with 221.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 221 and repeat the process: 2215 / 431

Step 8:
If we divide 2215 by 431, we get 5 and a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89755.0
Subtracting 2155 from 2215 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
600 divided by 431 is 1 with a remainder of 169.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89755.1
Subtracting 431 from 600 leaves us with 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 1690 by 431, we get 3 with a remainder of 397.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89755.13
Subtract 1293 from 1690 to get 397.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
3970 divided by 431 is 9 with a remainder of 91.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89755.139
Subtracting 3879 from 3970 leaves us with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 910 by 431, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 89755.1392
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 862 from 910.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
480 divided by 431 is 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89755.13921
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 431 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
431 can be fit into 490 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89755.139211
Subtract 431 from 490 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 89755.139211 with a balance of 5.9e-06.
