We're dividing 708939 by 38 
We want to divide 708939 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 38

On to step 2:
70 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 38 from 70.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 328 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 304 from 328 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 249 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 186.0
Deduct 228 from 249 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 213 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1865.0
Deduct 190 from 213 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 38

On to step 6:
239 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18656.0
If we subtract 228 from 239, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18656.2
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 76 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18656.28
If we subtract 304 from 340, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18656.289
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18656.2894
If we take 152 away from 180, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18656.28947
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18656.289473
If we subtract 114 from 140, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
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: 18656.2894736
Deduct 228 from 260 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
320 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18656.28947368
Deduct 304 from 320 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 18656.28947368 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
