We divide 438373 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 438373.

Moving on to step 1:
72 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 72

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 0 from 43.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 438 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 432 from 438, we get 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 72

Advancing to step 4:
72 goes into 63 0 times with a remainder of 63.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 63, we end up with 63.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 63, then carry on: 637 / 72

Step 5:
If we divide 637 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 608.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 576 from 637.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 613 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
72 goes into 613 8 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6088.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 576 from 613.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
72 goes into 370 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6088.5
If we subtract 360 from 370, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6088.51
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 72 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6088.513
If we take 216 away from 280, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6088.5138
If we subtract 576 from 640, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 72 fits into 640 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6088.51388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6088.51388 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
