We're dividing 158492 by 43 
We want to divide 158492 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
43 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
43 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
158 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 129 from 158, we get 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 43

Step 4:
43 goes into 294 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtracting 258 from 294 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 369 / 43

Step 5:
If we divide 369 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 368.0
If we subtract 344 from 369, we get 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
The number 43 fits into 252 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3685.0
If we take 215 away from 252, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3685.8
Subtracting 344 from 370 leaves us 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 8:
43 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3685.86
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 258 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3685.86
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3685.8604
Subtracting 172 from 200 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3685.86046
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 12:
43 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3685.860465
If we take 215 away from 220, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
43 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3685.8604651
Subtracting 43 from 50 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3685.86046511
If we take 43 away from 70, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3685.86046511 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
