Let's divide 218471 by 43
Let's see how many times 43 fits into 218471.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 43 is 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
21 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
218 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 215 from 218, we get 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 34 0 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 34, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 43

On to step 5:
When dividing 347 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 508.0
If we take 344 away from 347, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 31 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5080.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
43 can be fit into 310 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5080.7
If we take 301 away from 310, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 90 by 43, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5080.72
Subtracting 86 from 90 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5080.72
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
43 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5080.7209
Deduct 387 from 400 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
130 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5080.72093
Subtracting 129 from 130 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5080.72093
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5080.7209302
Subtract 86 from 100 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5080.72093023
If we subtract 129 from 140, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5080.72093023 with a balance of 1.1e-08.
