278149 divided by 43 
We want to divide 278149 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
43 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 278 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 258 from 278 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 201 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
201 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 172 from 201 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 294 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
294 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 646.0
If we take 258 away from 294, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 369 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 goes into 369 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6468.0
If we take 344 away from 369, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
250 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6468.5
If we take 215 away from 250, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 350 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6468.58
If we subtract 344 from 350, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6468.581
If we take 43 away from 60, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
43 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6468.5813
If we take 129 away from 170, we end up 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 11:
43 can be fit into 410 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6468.58139
Subtracting 387 from 410 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
43 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6468.581395
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6468.5813953
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 43 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6468.58139534
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.

The final result is 6468.58139534 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
