We look at the division of 242179 by 43 
We want to divide 242179 by 43.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
43 can be fit into 242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 215 away from 242, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
43 can be fit into 271 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we take 258 away from 271, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 137 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 563.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 129 from 137.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 43 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5632.0
If we subtract 86 from 89, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
43 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5632.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
43 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5632.06
Subtracting 258 from 300 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
420 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5632.069
Subtract 387 from 420 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
330 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5632.0697
Deduct 301 from 330 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
43 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5632.06976
If we subtract 258 from 290, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
43 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5632.069767
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5632.0697674
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.

Advancing to step 14:
43 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5632.06976744
If we take 172 away from 180, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 5632.06976744, with a leftover of 8e-09.
