472040 ÷ 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 472040 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 38 from 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 goes into 92 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 76 from 92 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 160 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 can be fit into 84 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1242.0
If we take 76 away from 84, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12422.0
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up 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 7:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12422.1
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12422.1
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 9:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12422.105
Subtracting 190 from 200 leaves us with 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 10:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12422.1052
If we take 76 away from 100, 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.

On to step 11:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12422.10526
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up 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 12:
38 goes into 120 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12422.105263
Deduct 114 from 120 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12422.1052631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
220 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12422.10526315
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12422.10526315 with a balance of 3e-08.
