72870 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 72870.

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
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 72 to get 34.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 348 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 348 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 342 from 348, we get 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 67 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 191.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 38 from 67.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 290 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
38 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1917.0
If we take 266 away from 290, we end up 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 6:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1917.6
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1917.63
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 8:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1917.631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1917.6315
If we subtract 190 from 220, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1917.63157
If we subtract 266 from 300, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1917.631578
If we subtract 304 from 340, we 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 12:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1917.6315789
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left 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 13:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1917.63157894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1917.63157894, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
