Let's divide 438839 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 438839 can be divided by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
43 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 43

On to step 2:
43 can be fit into 43 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 43 from 43.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 43

On to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 88 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 102.0
Subtracting 86 from 88 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 43

On to step 5:
When dividing 23 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1020.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
43 goes into 239 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10205.0
Deduct 215 from 239 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
43 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10205.5
If we subtract 215 from 240, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 8:
43 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10205.55
Subtracting 215 from 250 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10205.55 with a remaining 0.035.
