We're dividing 847978 by 38 
We want to divide 847978 by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
38 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 84 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 76 from 84.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 38

On to step 3:
38 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 76 from 87.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 38

Step 4:
38 can be fit into 119 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 223.0
Deduct 114 from 119 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 38

Step 5:
When dividing 57 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2231.0
If we subtract 38 from 57, we get 19.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 198 / 38

Going ahead to step 6:
198 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22315.0
Deduct 190 from 198 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22315.2
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22315.21
If we subtract 38 from 40, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
38 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22315.21
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22315.2105
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 100 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22315.21052
Deduct 76 from 100 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
240 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22315.210526
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.

Step 13:
If we divide 120 by 38, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22315.2105263
If we subtract 114 from 120, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
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: 22315.21052631
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 38 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22315.21052631 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
