We divide 878482 by 43
We want to divide 878482 by 43.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 86 from 87 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
18 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
43 can be fit into 184 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 172 from 184.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
128 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2042.0
Deduct 86 from 128 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 422 / 43

Step 6:
The number 43 fits into 422 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 20429.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 387 from 422.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
43 can be fit into 350 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20429.8
Deduct 344 from 350 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 43 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20429.81
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 43 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 43 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20429.813
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 129 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 410 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20429.8139
Deduct 387 from 410 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
43 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20429.81395
Deduct 215 from 230 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20429.813953
Subtract 129 from 150 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20429.8139534
Subtracting 172 from 210 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 380 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20429.81395348
Subtract 344 from 380 to 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.

The final outcome is 20429.81395348, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
