159609 divided by 38 
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 159609.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 38

Step 2:
38 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 38

Step 3:
When dividing 159 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 152 from 159 to get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
76 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 76 from 76.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 0 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 420.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 9 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4200.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 90 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4200.2
Subtracting 76 from 90 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4200.23
Subtracting 114 from 140 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 38 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4200.236
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up 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 10:
38 goes into 320 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4200.2368
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4200.23684
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 152 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4200.236842
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.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4200.2368421
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up 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.

Step 14:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4200.2368421
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4200.2368421 with a balance of 2e-08.
