Let's divide 12038 by 43
Let's see how many times 43 fits into 12038.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
43 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 86 away from 120, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 343 / 43

On to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 343 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 301 away from 343, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 43

On to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 428 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 387 from 428 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
410 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.9
Subtracting 387 from 410 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 279.95
Subtracting 215 from 230 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 8:
43 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 279.953
If we take 129 away from 150, we end up 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 9:
43 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 279.9534
If we subtract 172 from 210, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279.95348
If we subtract 344 from 380, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
43 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 279.953488
If we take 344 away from 360, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 279.953488 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
