We divide 204581 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 204581.

Moving on to step 1:
38 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 38

On to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 38

Step 3:
38 can be fit into 204 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 190 from 204 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 38

Step 4:
When dividing 145 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 114 away from 145, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 318 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 538.0
Subtract 304 from 318 to get 14.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 141 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 141 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5383.0
Deduct 114 from 141 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
270 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5383.7
Subtracting 266 from 270 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5383.71
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.

Step 9:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5383.71
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5383.7105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5383.71052
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.

Step 12:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5383.710526
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.

Moving on to step 13:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5383.7105263
If we subtract 114 from 120, we get 6.
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 14:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5383.71052631
Subtract 38 from 60 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5383.71052631 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
