We're dividing 386873 by 99 
We want to divide 386873 by 99.

Moving on to step 1:
99 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 386 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
99 goes into 386 3 times with a remainder of 89.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 297 from 386 to get 89.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 898 / 99

On to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 898 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 891 from 898 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 390.0
If we subtract 0 from 77, we get 77.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 773 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
773 divided by 99 is 7 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3907.0
Subtracting 693 from 773 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
99 can be fit into 800 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3907.8
Deduct 792 from 800 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3907.8
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 800 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3907.808
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3907.808
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
99 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3907.80808
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3907.80808
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 800 by 99, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3907.8080808
Deduct 792 from 800 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
99 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3907.8080808
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The final result is 3907.8080808 with a remainder of 8e-08.
