31728 ÷ 43 
Our goal is to divide 31728 by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
43 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 43

Step 2:
If we divide 31 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 43

Step 3:
When dividing 317 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 301 from 317 to get 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 goes into 162 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 129 from 162, we get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 43

Step 5:
43 can be fit into 338 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 737.0
Deduct 301 from 338 and we're left 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.

Step 6:
The number 43 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 737.8
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.

On to step 7:
260 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 737.86
If we take 258 away from 260, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 20 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 737.86
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
43 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 737.8604
Deduct 172 from 200 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 737.86046
Subtracting 258 from 280 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
43 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 737.860465
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 215 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
43 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.8604651
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 43 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 737.86046511
Deduct 43 from 70 and we're left 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.

The quotient of the division is 737.86046511, and the remainder is 2.7e-08.
