Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 4

Step 4:
4 goes into 38 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 349
Subtract 36 from 38 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 4

Step 5:
4 goes into 27 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of of the result. 
Result so far: 3496
