We're dividing 590204 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 590204 by 38.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 59 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 210 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
38 goes into 210 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 190 away from 210, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
38 can be fit into 202 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtracting 190 from 202 leaves us with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553.0
If we subtract 114 from 120, we get 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 38

On to step 6:
38 goes into 64 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15531.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 38 from 64.
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 7:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15531.6
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 8:
320 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15531.68
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.

Step 9:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15531.684
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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15531.6842
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 11:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15531.68421
Subtracting 38 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15531.68421
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15531.6842105
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.

On to step 14:
100 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15531.68421052
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15531.68421052 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
