We're dividing 38042 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 38042.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 87

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 380 / 87

On to step 3:
When dividing 380 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 324 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 261 from 324.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 632 / 87

On to step 5:
If we divide 632 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 437.0
Subtract 609 from 632 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 87 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.2
If we subtract 174 from 230, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 560 6 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.26
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 522 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 380 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.264
Subtract 348 from 380 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.2643
Subtract 261 from 320 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 10:
590 divided by 87 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.26436
Subtract 522 from 590 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 680 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.264367
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
87 can be fit into 710 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.2643678
Subtracting 696 from 710 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
140 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 53.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.26436781
Deduct 87 from 140 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 437.26436781, and the remainder is 5.3e-08.
