We're dividing 72290 by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 72290.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 38

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 72 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 342 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 342 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 342 from 342.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 90 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 90 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1902.0
Subtract 76 from 90 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1902.3
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
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 7:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1902.36
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1902.368
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1902.3684
Subtract 152 from 160 to get 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 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.36842
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1902.368421
Deduct 38 from 40 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1902.368421
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.36842105
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.

The quotient of the division is 1902.36842105, and the remainder is 1e-08.
