Let's divide 115042 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 115042.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
11 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 115 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
38 goes into 115 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 114 from 115 to get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 38

On to step 5:
38 goes into 104 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 302.0
Deduct 76 from 104 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 282 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
282 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3027.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 266 from 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
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: 3027.4
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 152 from 160.
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 8:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3027.42
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.

Step 9:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3027.421
Deduct 38 from 40 and we're left with 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 10:
The number 38 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3027.421
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
200 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3027.42105
Subtract 190 from 200 to get 10.
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 12:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3027.421052
Subtracting 76 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3027.4210526
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 228 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3027.42105263
Subtract 114 from 120 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3027.42105263 with a balance of 6e-09.
