We're dividing 157015 by 38 
We want to divide 157015 by 38.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
15 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
157 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 152 away from 157, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 38

Step 4:
The number 38 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 38 from 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 121 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 413.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 114 from 121.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
75 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4131.0
If we subtract 38 from 75, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4131.9
If we take 342 away from 370, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
38 can be fit into 280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4131.97
Subtract 266 from 280 to get 14.
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 9:
38 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4131.973
Subtracting 114 from 140 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4131.9736
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4131.97368
Subtract 304 from 320 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 goes into 160 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4131.973684
Deduct 152 from 160 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4131.9736842
If we subtract 76 from 80, we 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4131.97368421
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 38 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 4131.97368421 with a remainder of 2e-09.
