We divide 11988723 by 538
We want to divide 11988723 by 538.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 538, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 538

Moving on to step 2:
11 divided by 538 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 538

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 119 by 538, we get 0 with a remainder of 119.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 119, we end up with 119.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 119 and continue with: 1198 / 538

Step 4:
The number 538 fits into 1198 2 times, leaving a remainder of 122.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 122 after subtracting 1076 from 1198.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 122, then carry on: 1228 / 538

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1228 by 538, we get 2 and a remainder of 152.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 1076 from 1228 and we're left with 152.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 152, then carry on: 1527 / 538

Moving on to step 6:
538 can be fit into 1527 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 451.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 222.0
The remainder is 451 after subtracting 1076 from 1527.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 451, then carry on: 4512 / 538

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 4512 by 538, we get 8 and a remainder of 208.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2228.0
Subtracting 4304 from 4512 leaves us with 208.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 208 and continue: 2083 / 538

Step 8:
If we divide 2083 by 538, we get 3 and a remainder of 469.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22283.0
If we subtract 1614 from 2083, we get 469.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4690, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
538 goes into 4690 8 times with a remainder of 386.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22283.8
If we take 4304 away from 4690, we end up with 386.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 538 fits into 3860 7 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22283.87
If we subtract 3766 from 3860, we get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 940 by 538, we get 1 and a remainder of 402.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22283.871
Subtracting 538 from 940 leaves us with 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
538 goes into 4020 7 times with a remainder of 254.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22283.8717
The remainder is 254 after subtracting 3766 from 4020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 2540 by 538, we get 4 and a remainder of 388.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22283.87174
Subtracting 2152 from 2540 leaves us with 388.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 3880 by 538, we get 7 and a remainder of 114.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22283.871747
If we subtract 3766 from 3880, we get 114.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
When dividing 1140 by 538, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22283.8717472
Deduct 1076 from 1140 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 538 fits into 640 1 times, leaving a remainder of 102.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22283.87174721
Subtract 538 from 640 to get 102.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1020, and continue the process.

The final result is 22283.87174721 with a remainder of 1.02e-07.
