We divide 438957 by 96
We want to divide 438957 by 96.

On to step 1:
96 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 96

Step 2:
When dividing 43 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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 / 96

Advancing to step 3:
438 divided by 96 is 4 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 384 from 438, we get 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 96

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 96 fits into 549 5 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 480 from 549.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 695 / 96

Advancing to step 5:
The number 96 fits into 695 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 457.0
Deduct 672 from 695 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 237 / 96

Moving on to step 6:
96 can be fit into 237 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4572.0
Subtracting 192 from 237 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 450 4 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4572.4
Deduct 384 from 450 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 660 by 96, we get 6 and a remainder of 84.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4572.46
If we take 576 away from 660, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 840 by 96, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4572.468
If we subtract 768 from 840, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
720 divided by 96 is 7 with a remainder of 48.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4572.4687
Subtract 672 from 720 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 96 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4572.46875
Subtracting 480 from 480 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 0 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4572.46875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
96 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4572.46875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4572.46875 with a balance of 0.0.
