Let's divide 427871 by 38
We're looking to find how many times 38 goes into 427871.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 38

On to step 2:
42 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 38 from 42 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
47 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 38 from 47 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 38

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 98 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 76 from 98, we get 22.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 227 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 227 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1125.0
Subtract 190 from 227 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 371 / 38

On to step 6:
371 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11259.0
If we take 342 away from 371, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 38 fits into 290 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11259.7
Subtract 266 from 290 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11259.76
If we take 228 away from 240, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
120 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11259.763
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 114 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
38 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11259.7631
Deduct 38 from 60 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
38 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11259.76315
Deduct 190 from 220 and we're left 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 12:
300 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11259.763157
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11259.7631578
If we take 304 away from 340, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11259.76315789
Subtract 342 from 360 to 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.

The final outcome is 11259.76315789, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
