We divide 438973 by 13
We want to divide 438973 by 13.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 13, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 13

Step 2:
If we divide 43 by 13, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 39 from 43, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 13

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 48 by 13, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 39 from 48, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 13

Let's proceed to step 4:
99 divided by 13 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 337.0
Subtract 91 from 99 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 13

Moving on to step 5:
87 divided by 13 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3376.0
Subtracting 78 from 87 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 93 / 13

Advancing to step 6:
The number 13 fits into 93 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33767.0
Deduct 91 from 93 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 13, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 33767.1
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 13 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 13, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 33767.15
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 65 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
13 goes into 50 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33767.153
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 39 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
110 divided by 13 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33767.1538
If we subtract 104 from 110, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 60 by 13, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33767.15384
If we subtract 52 from 60, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
13 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33767.153846
Subtract 78 from 80 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 13 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33767.1538461
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 13 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 13, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33767.15384615
Subtracting 65 from 70 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 33767.15384615 with a balance of 5e-09.
