We're dividing 547982 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 547982.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 38 from 54 leaves us with 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 38

On to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 167 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 152 from 167, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 159 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 152 from 159 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 can be fit into 78 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1442.0
If we subtract 76 from 78, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
38 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14420.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14420.5
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 8:
If we divide 300 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14420.57
Subtract 266 from 300 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14420.578
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 38, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14420.5789
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14420.57894
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 152 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14420.578947
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14420.5789473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14420.57894736
If we subtract 228 from 260, 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.

The quotient of the division is 14420.57894736, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
