We divide 679617 by 38
We want to divide 679617 by 38.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 38

On to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 67, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
38 can be fit into 299 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 266 from 299.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 336 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
38 goes into 336 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we take 304 away from 336, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 321 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 321 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1788.0
Deduct 304 from 321 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 38

Step 6:
The number 38 fits into 177 4 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17884.0
If we take 152 away from 177, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 38, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17884.6
If we take 228 away from 250, 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.

On to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17884.65
If we take 190 away from 220, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17884.657
If we take 266 away from 300, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17884.6578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17884.65789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 180 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17884.657894
If we subtract 152 from 180, we get 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 13:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17884.6578947
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.

On to step 14:
38 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17884.65789473
If we subtract 114 from 140, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 17884.65789473 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
