966989 ÷ 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 966989 can be divided by 38.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 38, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 38

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 38 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 96 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 206 / 38

Let's proceed to step 3:
206 divided by 38 is 5 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 190 from 206.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 169 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.0
Subtract 152 from 169 to get 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 38

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 178 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2544.0
If we subtract 152 from 178, we get 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 38

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 269 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25447.0
Deduct 266 from 269 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 25447.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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 8:
When dividing 300 by 38, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25447.07
If we subtract 266 from 300, we 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 38, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25447.078
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.

On to step 10:
360 divided by 38 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25447.0789
If we take 342 away from 360, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
38 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25447.07894
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.

Step 12:
38 goes into 280 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25447.078947
Deduct 266 from 280 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
140 divided by 38 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25447.0789473
Deduct 114 from 140 and we're left with 26.
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 14:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25447.07894736
If we take 228 away from 260, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 25447.07894736, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
