\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\end{array}
Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 3840
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\end{array}
Since 3 is less than 100, use the next digit 8 from dividend 3840 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\end{array}
Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 3840
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\end{array}
Since 38 is less than 100, use the next digit 4 from dividend 3840 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\end{array}
Use the 3^{rd} digit 4 from dividend 3840
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}003\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}300\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{100)9}84\\\end{array}
Find closest multiple of 100 to 384. We see that 3 \times 100 = 300 is the nearest. Now subtract 300 from 384 to get reminder 84. Add 3 to quotient.
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}003\phantom{7}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}300\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{100)9}840\\\end{array}
Use the 4^{th} digit 0 from dividend 3840
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0038\phantom{8}\\100\overline{)3840}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}300\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{100)9}840\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{9}800\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)99}40\\\end{array}
Find closest multiple of 100 to 840. We see that 8 \times 100 = 800 is the nearest. Now subtract 800 from 840 to get reminder 40. Add 8 to quotient.
\text{Quotient: }38 \text{Reminder: }40
Since 40 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 40. The topmost line 0038 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 38.
