438538 ÷ 73 
Our goal is to divide 438538 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 can be fit into 43 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 73

Moving on to step 3:
73 can be fit into 438 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 438 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 73

On to step 4:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 73

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 53 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 600.0
Subtracting 0 from 53 leaves us with 53.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 538 / 73

Moving on to step 6:
73 can be fit into 538 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6007.0
If we take 511 away from 538, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6007.3
Deduct 219 from 270 and we're left with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
73 can be fit into 510 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6007.36
If we take 438 away from 510, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
720 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6007.369
If we take 657 away from 720, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 630 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6007.3698
Subtract 584 from 630 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 460 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6007.36986
Subtract 438 from 460 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
73 can be fit into 220 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6007.369863
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 219 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 10 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6007.369863
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
73 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6007.36986301
If we subtract 73 from 100, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6007.36986301 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
