We divide 73712 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 73712.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 73 and we're left with 35.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 357 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 can be fit into 357 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 342 from 357 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
38 goes into 151 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 193.0
If we subtract 114 from 151, we get 37.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 372 / 38

Step 5:
The number 38 fits into 372 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1939.0
Deduct 342 from 372 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 300 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1939.7
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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 1939.78
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.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1939.789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1939.7894
Subtract 152 from 180 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1939.78947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1939.789473
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1939.7894736
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1939.78947368
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1939.78947368 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
