We're dividing 373242 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 373242 can be divided by 87.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
37 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 373 / 87

Step 3:
When dividing 373 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 348 from 373, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 252 by 87, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 174 from 252, we get 78.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 784 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 784 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 429.0
If we subtract 783 from 784, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 87

Going ahead to step 6:
12 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4290.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4290.1
Subtract 87 from 120 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
87 goes into 330 3 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4290.13
If we subtract 261 from 330, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 690 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 81.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4290.137
Deduct 609 from 690 and we're left with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
810 divided by 87 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4290.1379
Subtract 783 from 810 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4290.13793
If we take 261 away from 270, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
90 divided by 87 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4290.137931
If we subtract 87 from 90, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
30 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4290.137931
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
87 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4290.13793103
Subtract 261 from 300 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4290.13793103 with a balance of 3.9e-08.
