686353 divided by 43 
Our goal is to divide 686353 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 43

Step 2:
The number 43 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 43 from 68 to get 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 256 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 215 from 256, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 413 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 can be fit into 413 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 387 from 413, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 can be fit into 265 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1596.0
Deduct 258 from 265 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 73 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15961.0
If we subtract 43 from 73, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
300 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15961.6
Deduct 258 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15961.69
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 9:
43 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15961.697
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 290 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15961.6976
If we take 258 away from 290, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
320 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15961.69767
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 301 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15961.697674
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 172 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
180 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15961.6976744
Subtract 172 from 180 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 15961.6976744 with a remainder of 8e-08.
