We divide 438231 by 73
We want to figure out the number of times 438231 can be divided by 73.

Step 1:
The number 73 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 73

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
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 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 438 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 438 from 438 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 73

Advancing to step 4:
The number 73 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 23 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 600.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
73 can be fit into 231 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6003.0
Subtracting 219 from 231 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
73 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6003.1
If we take 73 away from 120, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 470 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6003.16
Deduct 438 from 470 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 73, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6003.164
If we take 292 away from 320, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
73 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6003.1643
Subtracting 219 from 280 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 610 by 73, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6003.16438
Subtracting 584 from 610 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
260 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6003.164383
If we subtract 219 from 260, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 410 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6003.1643835
Subtracting 365 from 410 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 450 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6003.16438356
Subtract 438 from 450 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6003.16438356, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
