Let's divide 369978 by 43
We want to divide 369978 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
36 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 36, we get 36.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
369 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 344 away from 369, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 259 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 258 away from 259, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 43

On to step 5:
43 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 860.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 43

On to step 6:
178 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8604.0
Subtract 172 from 178 to 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 7:
When dividing 60 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8604.1
Subtracting 43 from 60 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
43 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8604.13
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
410 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8604.139
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
43 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8604.1395
Subtract 215 from 230 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8604.13953
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 12:
The number 43 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8604.139534
Subtract 172 from 210 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8604.1395348
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 344 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8604.13953488
If we take 344 away from 360, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 8604.13953488, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
