Let's divide 489850 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 489850.

Step 1:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 38 away from 48, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 38

Step 3:
38 can be fit into 109 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 76 away from 109, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 338 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtract 304 from 338 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 345 / 38

Moving on to step 5:
345 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1289.0
If we subtract 342 from 345, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 38

Step 6:
If we divide 30 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12890.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12890.7
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.

Step 8:
38 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12890.78
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.

Advancing to 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: 12890.789
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:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12890.7894
Subtracting 152 from 180 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
The number 38 fits into 280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12890.78947
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 266 from 280.
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: 12890.789473
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 38 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12890.7894736
Subtracting 228 from 260 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12890.78947368
Subtracting 304 from 320 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 12890.78947368 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
