Let's divide 280143 by 43
Our goal is to divide 280143 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
43 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 43

On to step 2:
43 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
43 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 258 from 280 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 221 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 215 away from 221, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 43

Step 5:
64 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 651.0
Deduct 43 from 64 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 213 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 213 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 41.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6514.0
If we subtract 172 from 213, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
43 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6514.9
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.

Step 8:
The number 43 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6514.95
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 215 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6514.953
Deduct 129 from 150 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
43 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6514.9534
Subtracting 172 from 210 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
380 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6514.95348
Subtract 344 from 380 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6514.953488
Subtracting 344 from 360 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6514.953488 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
