We divide 81698 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 81698.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
38 can be fit into 81 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 76 away from 81, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 38

Step 3:
If we divide 56 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 38 from 56, we get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
38 goes into 189 4 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtract 152 from 189 to get 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 378 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2149.0
If we subtract 342 from 378, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2149.9
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2149.94
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2149.947
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.

Step 9:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2149.9473
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2149.94736
If we subtract 228 from 260, we get 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 11:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2149.947368
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2149.9473684
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2149.94736842
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.

Our division results in 2149.94736842 with a remaining 4e-09.
