We divide 656494 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 656494 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 65 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 65 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 276 by 38, we get 7 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 266 from 276 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 goes into 104 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 172.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 76 from 104.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 289 / 38

On to step 5:
38 can be fit into 289 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1727.0
If we subtract 266 from 289, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 234 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
234 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17276.0
If we take 228 away from 234, we end up 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:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17276.1
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17276.15
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up 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.

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: 17276.157
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 17276.1578
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 11:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17276.15789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17276.157894
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
280 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17276.1578947
If we take 266 away from 280, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17276.15789473
Subtract 114 from 140 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17276.15789473 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
