Let's divide 140738 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 140738 can be divided by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
43 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 129 from 140, we get 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 can be fit into 117 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtract 86 from 117 to get 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 43

Step 5:
43 goes into 313 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327.0
Subtract 301 from 313 to get 12.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 can be fit into 128 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3272.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 86 from 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
43 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3272.9
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 387 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 330 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3272.97
If we subtract 301 from 330, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
43 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3272.976
Subtract 258 from 290 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 43 fits into 320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3272.9767
Subtract 301 from 320 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 190 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3272.97674
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 172 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3272.976744
Subtract 172 from 180 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3272.976744 with a balance of 8e-07.
