We're dividing 156779 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 156779.

Step 1:
1 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 38

Step 3:
156 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 152 from 156 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 47 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 38 from 47 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 97 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 21.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 412.0
If we take 76 away from 97, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
38 can be fit into 219 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4125.0
Deduct 190 from 219 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
290 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4125.7
If we take 266 away from 290, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 240 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4125.76
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4125.763
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4125.7631
Subtracting 38 from 60 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4125.76315
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4125.763157
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 13:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4125.7631578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4125.76315789
Subtract 342 from 360 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 4125.76315789 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
