256159 divided by 43 
We want to divide 256159 by 43.

On to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 215 away from 256, we end up with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 goes into 411 9 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 387 from 411 to get 24.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 245 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 goes into 245 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 595.0
If we take 215 away from 245, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 309 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5957.0
Subtracting 301 from 309 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5957.1
Deduct 43 from 80 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
43 can be fit into 370 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5957.18
Deduct 344 from 370 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
43 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5957.186
Subtract 258 from 260 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5957.186
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
43 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5957.18604
Deduct 172 from 200 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5957.186046
Subtract 258 from 280 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
43 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5957.1860465
Subtracting 215 from 220 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
43 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5957.18604651
If we subtract 43 from 50, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5957.18604651 with a balance of 7e-09.
