We divide 31459 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 31459 can be divided by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
38 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 31 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 314 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 304 away from 314, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 38

Moving on to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 105 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 76 from 105 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 38

Step 5:
38 goes into 299 7 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 827.0
Deduct 266 from 299 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
38 can be fit into 330 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 827.8
Subtracting 304 from 330 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
38 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 827.86
Subtracting 228 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 827.868
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 827.8684
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.

Step 10:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 827.86842
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.

Step 11:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 827.868421
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.

On to step 12:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 827.868421
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 827.86842105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 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 final outcome is 827.86842105, with a leftover of 1e-08.
