We look at the division of 688737 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 688737 by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
43 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 43 from 68 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 258 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
43 can be fit into 258 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 258 away from 258, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 43

Step 4:
When dividing 7 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 73 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1601.0
Subtract 43 from 73 to get 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 43

Step 6:
307 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16017.0
Subtracting 301 from 307 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
43 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16017.1
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 43 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 170 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16017.13
Subtracting 129 from 170 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
43 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16017.139
If we take 387 away from 410, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
230 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 16017.1395
Deduct 215 from 230 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 150 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16017.13953
If we take 129 away from 150, 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16017.139534
Subtract 172 from 210 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
43 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16017.1395348
Subtracting 344 from 380 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16017.13953488
If we subtract 344 from 360, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16017.13953488 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
