998597 ÷ 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 998597.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 76 away from 99, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 38

Step 3:
38 goes into 238 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 228 from 238 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 105 / 38

On to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 105 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 262.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 76 from 105.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 299 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2627.0
If we take 266 away from 299, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 38

Step 6:
When dividing 337 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26278.0
If we take 304 away from 337, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26278.8
If we take 304 away from 330, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26278.86
Subtracting 228 from 260 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26278.868
Deduct 304 from 320 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 26278.8684
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 152 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
38 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26278.86842
If we subtract 76 from 80, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26278.868421
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26278.868421
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
38 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26278.86842105
Deduct 190 from 200 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 26278.86842105 with a balance of 1e-08.
