281499 divided by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 281499.

Step 1:
The number 38 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 38

On to step 2:
38 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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

On to step 3:
38 goes into 281 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 266 from 281 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 38

Step 4:
38 goes into 154 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 74.0
Subtract 152 from 154 to get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 29 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 740.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 38

On to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 299 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7407.0
Subtract 266 from 299 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 330 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7407.8
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 304 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7407.86
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.

On to step 9:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7407.868
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7407.8684
Subtracting 152 from 160 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7407.86842
Subtract 76 from 80 to 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:
40 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7407.868421
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7407.868421
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7407.86842105
Subtracting 190 from 200 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 7407.86842105 and a remainder of 1e-08.
