We're dividing 438605 by 73 
Let's see how many times 73 fits into 438605.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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:
When dividing 43 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 43 and we're left with 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 438 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 438 from 438, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 73

Step 4:
73 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
73 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 600.0
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 605 / 73

Step 6:
When dividing 605 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 21.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6008.0
If we take 584 away from 605, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
73 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6008.2
Subtract 146 from 210 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 640 by 73, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6008.28
If we subtract 584 from 640, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
73 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6008.287
Subtract 511 from 560 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6008.2876
Subtracting 438 from 490 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
73 goes into 520 7 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6008.28767
If we subtract 511 from 520, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6008.287671
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 73 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
170 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6008.2876712
If we subtract 146 from 170, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 73 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6008.28767123
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 219 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final result is 6008.28767123 with a remainder of 2.1e-08.
