496857 ÷ 43 
Our goal is to divide 496857 by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
43 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 43 from 49 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 66 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 66 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 43 from 66.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
43 goes into 238 5 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we take 215 away from 238, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 235 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 235 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1155.0
If we subtract 215 from 235, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 can be fit into 207 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11554.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 172 from 207.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11554.8
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.

Step 8:
60 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11554.81
Deduct 43 from 60 and we're left 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 9:
43 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11554.813
Deduct 129 from 170 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 410 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11554.8139
Subtract 387 from 410 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
230 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11554.81395
Deduct 215 from 230 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11554.813953
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 13:
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: 11554.8139534
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 380 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11554.81395348
Deduct 344 from 380 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11554.81395348, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
