We look at the division of 388948 by 87 
We want to divide 388948 by 87.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 87

Step 2:
38 divided by 87 is 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 (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 87

Let's proceed to step 3:
388 divided by 87 is 4 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 348 from 388, we get 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 87

Moving on to step 4:
87 goes into 409 4 times with a remainder of 61.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
If we take 348 away from 409, we end up with 61.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 614 / 87

Advancing to step 5:
614 divided by 87 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 447.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 609 from 614.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
58 divided by 87 is 0 with a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4470.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
87 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 58.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4470.6
Subtracting 522 from 580 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
87 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 58.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4470.66
Subtract 522 from 580 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4470.66 and a remainder of 0.058.
