We divide 61686 by 38
Our goal is to divide 61686 by 38.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 38

On to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 61 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 38 fits into 236 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 228 from 236 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 88 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 162.0
Subtracting 76 from 88 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
38 can be fit into 126 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1623.0
Subtracting 114 from 126 leaves us 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 6:
38 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1623.3
Subtract 114 from 120 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1623.31
If we take 38 away from 60, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
38 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1623.315
Subtract 190 from 220 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 1623.3157
Subtracting 266 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1623.31578
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.

Advancing to step 11:
38 can be fit into 360 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1623.315789
Deduct 342 from 360 and we're left 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:
The number 38 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1623.3157894
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1623.31578947
If we take 266 away from 280, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1623.31578947 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
