We divide 438234 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 438234.

Moving on to step 1:
9 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 43 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 36 away from 43, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
78 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
62 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 54 from 62.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
83 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4869.0
Deduct 81 from 83 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
9 goes into 24 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48692.0
If we take 18 away from 24, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 60 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48692.6
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
60 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48692.66
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 48692.66, with a leftover of 0.006.
