Let's divide 462999 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 462999.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 38 from 46, we get 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 can be fit into 82 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 76 from 82.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we take 38 away from 69, we end up with 31.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 319 / 38

Advancing to step 5:
38 goes into 319 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1218.0
If we take 304 away from 319, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
159 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12184.0
Deduct 152 from 159 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12184.1
Deduct 38 from 70 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12184.18
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12184.184
If we take 152 away from 160, we end up with 8.
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 10:
38 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12184.1842
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12184.18421
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 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 12:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12184.18421
If we take 0 away from 20, 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.

Step 13:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12184.1842105
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12184.18421052
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12184.18421052 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
