We look at the division of 87438038 by 281 
Let's see how many times 281 fits into 87438038.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 281 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 281

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 874 / 281

Let's proceed to step 3:
874 divided by 281 is 3 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 843 from 874 to get 31.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 313 / 281

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 313 by 281, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 281 from 313.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 281

Advancing to step 5:
The number 281 fits into 328 1 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 311.0
If we subtract 281 from 328, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 470 / 281

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 281 fits into 470 1 times, leaving a remainder of 189.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3111.0
The remainder is 189 after subtracting 281 from 470.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 189 and continue with: 1893 / 281

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1893 by 281, we get 6 with a remainder of 207.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31116.0
If we take 1686 away from 1893, we end up with 207.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 207 and continue with: 2078 / 281

Step 8:
281 goes into 2078 7 times with a remainder of 111.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 311167.0
Deduct 1967 from 2078 and we're left with 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1110 divided by 281 is 3 with a remainder of 267.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 311167.3
If we subtract 843 from 1110, we get 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
281 can be fit into 2670 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 141.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 311167.39
Subtracting 2529 from 2670 leaves us with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
281 goes into 1410 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 311167.395
Deduct 1405 from 1410 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 281 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 311167.395
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
281 can be fit into 500 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 311167.39501
Subtracting 281 from 500 leaves us with 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
2190 divided by 281 is 7 with a remainder of 223.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 311167.395017
Subtract 1967 from 2190 to get 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
The number 281 fits into 2230 7 times, leaving a remainder of 263.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 311167.3950177
Subtracting 1967 from 2230 leaves us with 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 311167.3950177 and a remainder of 2.63e-06.
