We're dividing 38078 by 87 
We want to figure out the number of times 38078 can be divided by 87.

On to step 1:
3 divided by 87 is 0 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.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 87

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 380 / 87

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 348 from 380, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 327 / 87

On to step 4:
If we divide 327 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we take 261 away from 327, we end up with 66.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 668 / 87

On to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 668 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 437.0
Subtracting 609 from 668 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 590 by 87, we get 6 with a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 437.6
Subtracting 522 from 590 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
680 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 71.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.67
Subtracting 609 from 680 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 437.678
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 696 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
87 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.6781
If we subtract 87 from 140, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
87 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 437.67816
If we subtract 522 from 530, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
87 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 437.67816
Subtracting 0 from 80 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 12:
The number 87 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 437.6781609
If we subtract 783 from 800, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 437.67816091
Subtracting 87 from 170 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Our division results in 437.67816091 with a remaining 8.3e-08.
