We're dividing 170900 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 170900.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
38 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 38

Step 3:
38 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 152 from 170 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 38

Step 4:
38 can be fit into 189 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 152 from 189 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 370 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 370 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 449.0
Subtracting 342 from 370 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 38

On to step 6:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4497.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4497.3
If we subtract 114 from 140, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
260 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4497.36
Deduct 228 from 260 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4497.368
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.

Step 10:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4497.3684
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4497.36842
Deduct 76 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4497.368421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4497.368421
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.

On to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4497.36842105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 4497.36842105 with a remainder of 1e-08.
