We're dividing 37885 by 87 
We want to divide 37885 by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 37 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 87

Step 3:
378 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 348 from 378 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
308 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 261 from 308.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 475 / 87

Going ahead to step 5:
87 can be fit into 475 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 435.0
If we take 435 away from 475, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 6:
400 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 435.4
If we take 348 away from 400, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 can be fit into 520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 435.45
If we subtract 435 from 520, we get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
87 goes into 850 9 times with a remainder of 67.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 435.459
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 783 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 670 by 87, we get 7 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 435.4597
Subtract 609 from 670 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
87 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 435.45977
Subtract 609 from 610 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 435.45977 with a remainder of 1e-06.
