We divide 539455 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 539455 can be divided by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 53 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
159 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 152 from 159 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 74 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141.0
Subtract 38 from 74 to get 36.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 365 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
365 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1419.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 342 from 365.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 235 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 235 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14196.0
If we subtract 228 from 235, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14196.1
If we subtract 38 from 70, we get 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 8:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14196.18
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14196.184
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14196.1842
Subtract 76 from 80 to get 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 11:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14196.18421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14196.18421
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14196.1842105
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.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14196.18421052
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14196.18421052 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
