We divide 588966 by 38
We want to figure out the number of times 588966 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
38 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 58 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 208 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 190 from 208.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 38

On to step 4:
38 goes into 189 4 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 152 from 189.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 376 / 38

On to step 5:
The number 38 fits into 376 9 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1549.0
If we take 342 away from 376, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 346 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15499.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 342 from 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 40 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15499.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15499.1
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 38, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15499.105
If we subtract 190 from 200, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
38 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15499.1052
If we subtract 76 from 100, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 11:
38 goes into 240 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15499.10526
Subtract 228 from 240 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 15499.105263
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 60 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15499.1052631
If we take 38 away from 60, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15499.10526315
Subtract 190 from 220 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15499.10526315 with a remaining 3e-08.
