We divide 387838 by 74
Let's see how many times 74 fits into 387838.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 74, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 74

Step 2:
When dividing 38 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 387 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 370 away from 387, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 74

Let's proceed to step 4:
74 can be fit into 178 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 148 from 178.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 303 / 74

Moving on to step 5:
The number 74 fits into 303 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 524.0
Deduct 296 from 303 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 74

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 78 by 74, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5241.0
If we subtract 74 from 78, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 74 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5241.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5241.05
If we subtract 370 from 400, we 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.

On to step 9:
The number 74 fits into 300 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5241.054
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5241.054
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 74, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5241.05405
Subtract 370 from 400 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 12:
If we divide 300 by 74, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5241.054054
Deduct 296 from 300 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
74 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5241.054054
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
400 divided by 74 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5241.05405405
If we subtract 370 from 400, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5241.05405405 with a balance of 3e-08.
