We look at the division of 868617 by 38 
We want to divide 868617 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 38

Step 2:
If we divide 86 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 76 away from 86, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 108 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 76 from 108 to get 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 326 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we take 304 away from 326, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 221 / 38

On to step 5:
38 goes into 221 5 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2285.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 190 from 221.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 38

On to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 317 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22858.0
Deduct 304 from 317 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22858.3
If we subtract 114 from 130, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22858.34
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 152 from 160.
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:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22858.342
Deduct 76 from 80 and we're left with 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 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22858.3421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
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:
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: 22858.3421
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22858.342105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22858.3421052
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22858.34210526
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final result is 22858.34210526 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
