We look at the division of 38900 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 38900 by 16.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 32 from 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 16

On to step 3:
16 goes into 69 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 64 from 69 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
50 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 243.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
16 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2431.0
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 40 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2431.2
If we take 32 away from 40, we end up 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 7:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2431.25
Deduct 80 from 80 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2431.25
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2431.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2431.25 with a balance of 0.0.
