We look at the division of 214871 by 38 
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 214871.

Moving on to step 1:
38 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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 (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
21 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 38

Step 3:
The number 38 fits into 214 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 190 away from 214, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 248 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 228 from 248 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 207 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 207 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 565.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 190 from 207.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
38 goes into 171 4 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5654.0
Subtract 152 from 171 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5654.5
Subtract 190 from 190 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
38 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5654.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5654.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5654.5 with a balance of 0.0.
