Let's divide 879610 by 43
We want to divide 879610 by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
43 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 43

On to step 2:
87 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 86 from 87, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 43

On to step 3:
19 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 196 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtract 172 from 196 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
241 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2045.0
Subtract 215 from 241 to get 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 43

On to step 6:
43 goes into 260 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20456.0
Deduct 258 from 260 and we're left 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 7:
When dividing 20 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20456.0
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 8:
The number 43 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20456.04
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 9:
43 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20456.046
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 10:
If we divide 220 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20456.0465
Subtracting 215 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
50 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20456.04651
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.

Step 12:
70 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20456.046511
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.

After the division, we end up with 20456.046511 and a remainder of 2.7e-06.
