Let's divide 218237 by 43
We want to divide 218237 by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
21 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 43

On to step 3:
218 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 215 from 218 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 43

Step 4:
32 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 0 from 32.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 323 / 43

Step 5:
43 goes into 323 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 507.0
Subtract 301 from 323 to get 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
43 can be fit into 227 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5075.0
Subtract 215 from 227 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 43 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5075.2
Subtract 86 from 120 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5075.27
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 301 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 390 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5075.279
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 387 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 43 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5075.279
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
43 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5075.27906
If we take 258 away from 300, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
43 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5075.279069
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
330 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5075.2790697
If we subtract 301 from 330, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
43 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5075.27906976
Subtracting 258 from 290 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5075.27906976 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
