Let's divide 438693 by 73
We want to divide 438693 by 73.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 73

On to step 2:
73 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 43, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 438 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 438 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 438 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 73

Moving on to step 4:
6 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 73

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 69 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 69.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 600.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 693 / 73

Step 6:
The number 73 fits into 693 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6009.0
Subtracting 657 from 693 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
360 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6009.4
Subtract 292 from 360 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
73 goes into 680 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6009.49
If we take 657 away from 680, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6009.493
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 219 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6009.4931
Subtracting 73 from 110 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 370 by 73, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6009.49315
If we take 365 away from 370, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6009.49315
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 500 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6009.4931506
If we subtract 438 from 500, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 14:
620 divided by 73 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6009.49315068
Deduct 584 from 620 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6009.49315068, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
