Let's divide 73871781 by 238
We want to divide 73871781 by 238.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 238 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 238

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 73 by 238, we get 0 and a remainder of 73.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 73 leaves us with 73.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 738 / 238

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 738 by 238, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 714 from 738.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 238

On to step 4:
The number 238 fits into 247 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 238 from 247, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 238

Moving on to step 5:
238 goes into 91 0 times with a remainder of 91.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
If we take 0 away from 91, we end up with 91.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 917 / 238

Moving on to step 6:
238 goes into 917 3 times with a remainder of 203.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3103.0
If we subtract 714 from 917, we get 203.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 203, then carry on: 2038 / 238

On to step 7:
238 can be fit into 2038 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 134.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 31038.0
If we subtract 1904 from 2038, we get 134.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 134, then repeat: 1341 / 238

Let's proceed to step 8:
238 goes into 1341 5 times with a remainder of 151.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310385.0
If we subtract 1190 from 1341, we get 151.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1510, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 1510 by 238, we get 6 and a remainder of 82.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310385.6
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 1428 from 1510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 820 by 238, we get 3 with a remainder of 106.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310385.63
If we take 714 away from 820, we end up with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 238 fits into 1060 4 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 310385.634
Deduct 952 from 1060 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1080 divided by 238 is 4 with a remainder of 128.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 310385.6344
If we subtract 952 from 1080, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 310385.6344 and a remainder of 0.00128.
