We look at the division of 272417 by 38 
Our goal is to divide 272417 by 38.

On to step 1:
The number 38 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 38

Going ahead to step 2:
38 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 38

On to step 3:
38 can be fit into 272 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 266 from 272 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 38

Step 4:
If we divide 64 by 38, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 38 from 64.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 261 / 38

Step 5:
38 goes into 261 6 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 716.0
If we subtract 228 from 261, we get 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
337 divided by 38 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7168.0
Subtracting 304 from 337 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 38, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7168.8
Subtract 304 from 330 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 38, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7168.86
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.

On to step 9:
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: 7168.868
Subtract 304 from 320 to get 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 10:
The number 38 fits into 160 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7168.8684
Subtract 152 from 160 to 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.

Step 11:
80 divided by 38 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7168.86842
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 38, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7168.868421
Subtract 38 from 40 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
20 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7168.868421
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
38 can be fit into 200 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7168.86842105
If we take 190 away from 200, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7168.86842105 and a remainder of 1e-08.
