173718 ÷ 43 
Our goal is to divide 173718 by 43.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 43

On to step 2:
43 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 43

On to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 173 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 172 from 173 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 171 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
171 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 403.0
If we subtract 129 from 171, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 can be fit into 428 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4039.0
Subtracting 387 from 428 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
43 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4039.9
If we subtract 387 from 410, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4039.95
Subtracting 215 from 230 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 43, we get 3 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4039.953
Subtract 129 from 150 to get 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 10:
The number 43 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4039.9534
Deduct 172 from 210 and we're left 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:
The number 43 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4039.95348
If we subtract 344 from 380, we 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 360 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4039.953488
Subtract 344 from 360 to 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 4039.953488 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
