There is an easy way to figure this :

 

First......divide 238 by 5   and forget any remainders  =   47

 

Next.......divide 238 by 25 and forget any remainders = 9

 

Next......divide 238 by 125 and forget any remainders  = 1

 

Add the three numbers =  47 + 9 + 1 =   57 traliing zeroes.....just as Guest said......
