We're dividing 309496 by 43 
We're looking to find how many times 43 goes into 309496.

Step 1:
43 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 43

Step 2:
30 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 309 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 301 from 309 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 43

Step 4:
43 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 43 from 84.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 419 / 43

Step 5:
419 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 719.0
If we subtract 387 from 419, we get 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
326 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7197.0
If we take 301 away from 326, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 43 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7197.5
If we subtract 215 from 250, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
43 goes into 350 8 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7197.58
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 344 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7197.581
Subtract 43 from 60 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 10:
43 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7197.5813
Deduct 129 from 170 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 410 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7197.58139
If we take 387 away from 410, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 43 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7197.581395
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 215 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
43 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7197.5813953
Subtracting 129 from 150 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
210 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7197.58139534
Subtract 172 from 210 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7197.58139534 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
