Let's divide 716729 by 38
Our goal is to divide 716729 by 38.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
71 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 71 to get 33.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 336 / 38

Step 3:
The number 38 fits into 336 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 304 from 336.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 327 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtracting 304 from 327 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 38

Going ahead to step 5:
232 divided by 38 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1886.0
Subtract 228 from 232 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18861.0
If we subtract 38 from 49, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
110 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18861.2
Subtract 76 from 110 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 38 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18861.28
Subtracting 304 from 340 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18861.289
If we subtract 342 from 360, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
38 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18861.2894
If we take 152 away from 180, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18861.28947
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 12:
The number 38 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18861.289473
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
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 13:
38 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18861.2894736
Subtract 228 from 260 to get 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 14:
When dividing 320 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18861.28947368
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 18861.28947368 with a remainder of 1.6e-08.
