We're dividing 388690 by 97 
We want to divide 388690 by 97.

Step 1:
3 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 97

On to step 2:
97 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 97

Step 3:
When dividing 388 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 388 from 388.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 97

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 6 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 69 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 69.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 690 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
97 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4007.0
If we take 679 away from 690, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4007.1
If we subtract 97 from 110, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 goes into 130 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4007.11
Subtract 97 from 130 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4007.11 and a remainder of 0.033.
