16983 ÷ 38 
We want to divide 16983 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 169 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 152 from 169 to get 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 178 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 152 from 178 to get 26.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 263 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 263 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 446.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 228 from 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 350 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 446.9
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 342 from 350.
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 7:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 446.92
Subtract 76 from 80 to 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 446.921
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us with 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 9:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 446.921
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 446.92105
Deduct 190 from 200 and we're left with 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 11:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 446.921052
Subtract 76 from 100 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 446.9210526
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 446.92105263
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 446.92105263 with a balance of 6e-09.
