Let's divide 72980 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 72980 can be divided by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
43 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 43

Step 2:
43 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 43 from 72, we get 29.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 299 / 43

On to step 3:
43 goes into 299 6 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 258 from 299 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 43

Step 4:
When dividing 418 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 31.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.0
If we take 387 away from 418, we end up with 31.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 310 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 310 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.0
If we subtract 301 from 310, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
90 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.2
Subtract 86 from 90 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
43 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1697.2
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1697.209
If we take 387 away from 400, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
130 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1697.2093
Deduct 129 from 130 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
43 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1697.2093
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1697.209302
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 86 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 140 by 43, we get 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1697.2093023
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 129 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
110 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1697.20930232
Subtracting 86 from 110 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1697.20930232 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
