We look at the division of 304038 by 87 
Our goal is to divide 304038 by 87.

Going ahead to step 1:
87 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 87

Step 2:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 304 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
87 can be fit into 304 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 261 from 304 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 430 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 430 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 82.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
If we subtract 348 from 430, we get 82.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 82, then repeat: 823 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 823 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 349.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 783 from 823.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 87

On to step 6:
87 goes into 408 4 times with a remainder of 60.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3494.0
Deduct 348 from 408 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3494.6
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 522 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 780 by 87, we get 8 and a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3494.68
Deduct 696 from 780 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 840 by 87, we get 9 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3494.689
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 783 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 570 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3494.6896
Subtract 522 from 570 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 87 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3494.68965
Subtract 435 from 480 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
450 divided by 87 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3494.689655
If we take 435 away from 450, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3494.689655, and the remainder is 1.5e-06.
