We're dividing 124878 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 124878.

Advancing to step 1:
38 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 124 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 114 from 124 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 108 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 76 from 108 to get 32.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 327 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 goes into 327 8 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 328.0
If we take 304 away from 327, we end up with 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 238 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3286.0
Subtract 228 from 238 to 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.

Step 7:
The number 38 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3286.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3286.26
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3286.263
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3286.2631
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3286.26315
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 190 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3286.263157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3286.2631578
Subtract 304 from 340 to 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 14:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3286.26315789
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3286.26315789 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
