Let's divide 878751 by 38
We want to divide 878751 by 38.

On to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 38

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 76 from 87.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 114 from 118, we get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 231.0
Subtracting 38 from 47 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 goes into 95 2 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2312.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 76 from 95.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 191 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23125.0
Subtracting 190 from 191 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23125.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23125.02
Subtract 76 from 100 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 23125.026
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up with 12.
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 10:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23125.0263
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.

Step 11:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23125.02631
Subtract 38 from 60 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23125.026315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left with 30.
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 13:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23125.0263157
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 23125.02631578
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 23125.02631578 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
