We're dividing 38617016 by 878 
We want to figure out the number of times 38617016 can be divided by 878.

On to step 1:
878 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 878

Let's proceed to step 2:
878 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 878

On to step 3:
878 can be fit into 386 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 386.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 386 to get 386.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 386, then repeat: 3861 / 878

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 3861 by 878, we get 4 with a remainder of 349.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 349 after subtracting 3512 from 3861.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 349 and repeat the process: 3497 / 878

Going ahead to step 5:
3497 divided by 878 is 3 with a remainder of 863.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtracting 2634 from 3497 leaves us with 863.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 863, then repeat: 8630 / 878

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 8630 by 878, we get 9 and a remainder of 728.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 439.0
Subtracting 7902 from 8630 leaves us with 728.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 728 and continue: 7281 / 878

Going ahead to step 7:
7281 divided by 878 is 8 with a remainder of 257.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4398.0
If we take 7024 away from 7281, we end up with 257.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 257 and continue: 2576 / 878

On to step 8:
When dividing 2576 by 878, we get 2 with a remainder of 820.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43982.0
Subtract 1756 from 2576 to get 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
878 goes into 8200 9 times with a remainder of 298.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43982.9
If we take 7902 away from 8200, we end up with 298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2980, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
878 goes into 2980 3 times with a remainder of 346.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43982.93
If we take 2634 away from 2980, we end up with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 3460 by 878, we get 3 with a remainder of 826.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43982.933
Subtracting 2634 from 3460 leaves us with 826.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8260, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 43982.933, and the remainder is 0.0826.
