We look at the division of 38371481 by 272 
We're looking to find how many times 272 goes into 38371481.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 272, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 272

On to step 2:
The number 272 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 383 / 272

Step 3:
272 goes into 383 1 times with a remainder of 111.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 272 from 383 and we're left with 111.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 111 and continue: 1117 / 272

Moving on to step 4:
272 goes into 1117 4 times with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 1088 from 1117 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 272

Moving on to step 5:
272 can be fit into 291 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141.0
If we take 272 away from 291, we end up with 19.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 194 / 272

Going ahead to step 6:
272 can be fit into 194 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1410.0
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 0 from 194.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 194 and repeat the process: 1948 / 272

Step 7:
272 goes into 1948 7 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14107.0
Subtracting 1904 from 1948 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 272

On to step 8:
The number 272 fits into 441 1 times, leaving a remainder of 169.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141071.0
Deduct 272 from 441 and we're left with 169.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1690, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 272 fits into 1690 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141071.6
Subtracting 1632 from 1690 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
580 divided by 272 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141071.62
Deduct 544 from 580 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 272 fits into 360 1 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141071.621
If we take 272 away from 360, we end up with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 880 by 272, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 141071.6213
Deduct 816 from 880 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 272 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141071.62132
Subtracting 544 from 640 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
272 goes into 960 3 times with a remainder of 144.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141071.621323
If we take 816 away from 960, we end up with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
272 can be fit into 1440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141071.6213235
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 1360 from 1440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 800 by 272, we get 2 with a remainder of 256.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 141071.62132352
Subtracting 544 from 800 leaves us with 256.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2560, and continue the process.

The final result is 141071.62132352 with a remainder of 2.56e-07.
