Let's divide 988477 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 988477.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 76 from 98 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 38

Step 3:
228 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 228 from 228 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2601.0
If we take 38 away from 47, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 38

On to step 6:
When dividing 97 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 26012.0
If we take 76 away from 97, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
210 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 26012.5
If we take 190 away from 210, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26012.55
If we take 190 away from 200, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 26012.55 and a remainder of 0.01.
