Let's divide 472793 by 38
We want to divide 472793 by 38.

Step 1:
The number 38 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 47, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 92 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 76 away from 92, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 38

Step 4:
167 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 152 from 167.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 38

Step 5:
38 can be fit into 159 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1244.0
Deduct 152 from 159 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 73 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12441.0
If we take 38 away from 73, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
350 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12441.9
Subtract 342 from 350 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.

Step 8:
The number 38 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12441.92
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12441.921
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12441.921
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12441.92105
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 12:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12441.921052
Subtracting 76 from 100 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12441.9210526
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 14:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12441.92105263
Deduct 114 from 120 and we're left 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 12441.92105263 with a balance of 6e-09.
