We're dividing 16618 by 38 
We want to divide 16618 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
38 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 166 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 166 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 152 from 166, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 141 / 38

Step 4:
141 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 114 from 141 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
38 can be fit into 278 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 266 from 278.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.3
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.31
Deduct 38 from 60 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.315
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 190 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.3157
If we subtract 266 from 300, we 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.

On to step 10:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 437.31578
Subtract 304 from 340 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 goes into 360 9 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 437.315789
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 342 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 437.3157894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 28.
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 13:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.31578947
If we subtract 266 from 280, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 437.31578947 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
