We're dividing 697869 by 438 
We want to divide 697869 by 438.

Step 1:
The number 438 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 438

Step 2:
The number 438 fits into 69 0 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 69 and continue with: 697 / 438

Advancing to step 3:
438 goes into 697 1 times with a remainder of 259.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 438 from 697, we get 259.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 259 and continue with: 2598 / 438

Going ahead to step 4:
438 can be fit into 2598 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 408.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 2190 from 2598, we get 408.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 408 and repeat the process: 4086 / 438

Going ahead to step 5:
438 goes into 4086 9 times with a remainder of 144.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtracting 3942 from 4086 leaves us with 144.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1449 / 438

On to step 6:
The number 438 fits into 1449 3 times, leaving a remainder of 135.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1593.0
Deduct 1314 from 1449 and we're left with 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
438 goes into 1350 3 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1593.3
Subtracting 1314 from 1350 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 8:
The number 438 fits into 360 0 times, leaving a remainder of 360.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1593.3
If we subtract 0 from 360, we get 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
438 can be fit into 3600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1593.308
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 3504 from 3600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 438 fits into 960 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1593.3082
Subtracting 876 from 960 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 438 fits into 840 1 times, leaving a remainder of 402.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1593.30821
Subtract 438 from 840 to get 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
438 goes into 4020 9 times with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1593.308219
Subtracting 3942 from 4020 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 780 by 438, we get 1 with a remainder of 342.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1593.3082191
If we take 438 away from 780, we end up with 342.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3420, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 3420 by 438, we get 7 with a remainder of 354.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1593.30821917
Subtracting 3066 from 3420 leaves us with 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

The final result is 1593.30821917 with a remainder of 3.54e-07.
