We're dividing 878572 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 878572 by 43.

Step 1:
43 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
43 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 86 from 87 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 185 / 43

On to step 4:
43 can be fit into 185 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Deduct 172 from 185 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 137 by 43, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2043.0
Subtracting 129 from 137 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
43 can be fit into 82 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20431.0
Deduct 43 from 82 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
43 can be fit into 390 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20431.9
Deduct 387 from 390 and we're left with 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 8:
30 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20431.9
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
43 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20431.906
If we subtract 258 from 300, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20431.9069
Deduct 387 from 420 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
330 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20431.90697
Subtract 301 from 330 to get 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 12:
43 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20431.906976
Subtract 258 from 290 to 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20431.9069767
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.

Advancing to step 14:
43 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20431.90697674
If we take 172 away from 190, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20431.90697674 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
