261993 divided by 43 
We want to divide 261993 by 43.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
43 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 261 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 258 from 261 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 399 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
43 goes into 399 9 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 609.0
If we subtract 387 from 399, we get 12.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 123 / 43

Step 6:
The number 43 fits into 123 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6092.0
If we subtract 86 from 123, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6092.8
Subtract 344 from 370 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
43 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6092.86
If we take 258 away from 260, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
43 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6092.86
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6092.8604
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 172 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
43 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6092.86046
If we subtract 258 from 280, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
43 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6092.860465
Subtracting 215 from 220 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6092.8604651
If we subtract 43 from 50, we 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 14:
When dividing 70 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6092.86046511
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 43 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6092.86046511 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
