We're dividing 157428 by 38 
We want to figure out the number of times 157428 can be divided by 38.

On to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 38

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 38, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 38

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 157 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 152 away from 157, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 38

On to step 4:
When dividing 54 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 38 away from 54, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 162 / 38

Step 5:
When dividing 162 by 38, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 414.0
If we subtract 152 from 162, we get 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 108 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4142.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 76 from 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
38 can be fit into 320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4142.8
If we take 304 away from 320, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4142.84
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4142.842
If we take 76 away from 80, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
38 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4142.8421
If we take 38 away from 40, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
38 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4142.8421
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4142.842105
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 190 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
38 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4142.8421052
Subtract 76 from 100 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 14:
If we divide 240 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4142.84210526
Subtract 228 from 240 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4142.84210526 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
