We look at the division of 480240 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 480240 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 38 from 48.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 100 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 24.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 242 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 126.0
Subtracting 228 from 242 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 144 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1263.0
If we subtract 114 from 144, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 300 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12637.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
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 7:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12637.8
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up 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 8:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12637.89
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12637.894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
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: 12637.8947
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12637.89473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12637.894736
Subtract 228 from 260 to get 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 13:
The number 38 fits into 320 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12637.8947368
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 304 from 320.
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 14:
38 can be fit into 160 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12637.89473684
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12637.89473684 with a balance of 8e-09.
