We're dividing 617817 by 38 
We want to divide 617817 by 38.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 can be fit into 61 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 61 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 237 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 237 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 228 from 237 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we take 76 away from 98, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 221 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1625.0
If we subtract 190 from 221, we get 31.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 317 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 317 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16258.0
If we subtract 304 from 317, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16258.3
If we subtract 114 from 130, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
160 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16258.34
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16258.342
If we subtract 76 from 80, we 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 10:
38 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16258.3421
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.

Step 11:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16258.3421
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.

Moving on to step 12:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16258.342105
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 13:
When dividing 100 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16258.3421052
Subtract 76 from 100 to 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 240 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16258.34210526
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.

Our division results in 16258.34210526 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
