We're dividing 278285 by 43 
We want to divide 278285 by 43.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 43

On to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 278 6 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 258 from 278.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
43 can be fit into 202 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Subtracting 172 from 202 leaves us with 30.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 308 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 308 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 647.0
Deduct 301 from 308 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
75 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6471.0
Subtract 43 from 75 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6471.7
If we take 301 away from 320, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6471.74
If we subtract 172 from 190, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
180 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6471.744
Subtracting 172 from 180 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6471.744 with a balance of 0.0008.
