We're dividing 144998 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 144998 by 43.

On to step 1:
43 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 43

On to step 3:
43 can be fit into 144 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 129 away from 144, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 43

Step 4:
The number 43 fits into 159 3 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 129 from 159.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 309 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 goes into 309 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 337.0
Subtracting 301 from 309 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
88 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3372.0
Subtract 86 from 88 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
43 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3372.04
Deduct 172 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3372.046
If we take 258 away from 280, we end up with 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 10:
If we divide 220 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3372.0465
Subtract 215 from 220 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 50 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3372.04651
Subtract 43 from 50 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3372.046511
If we subtract 43 from 70, 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 3372.046511 with a balance of 2.7e-06.
