We're dividing 281020 by 38 
We want to divide 281020 by 38.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 38

On to step 2:
38 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 38

Step 3:
281 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 266 from 281 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 150 / 38

On to step 4:
38 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 73.0
Deduct 114 from 150 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 362 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 can be fit into 362 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 739.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 342 from 362.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 200 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
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: 7395.0
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.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7395.2
If we take 76 away from 100, we end up with 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 8:
The number 38 fits into 240 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7395.26
Subtracting 228 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7395.263
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
60 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7395.2631
If we subtract 38 from 60, we 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 220 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7395.26315
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.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7395.263157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7395.2631578
Subtract 304 from 340 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 38 fits into 360 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7395.26315789
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7395.26315789, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
