We're dividing 401971 by 43 
We want to divide 401971 by 43.

On to step 1:
43 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 401 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 387 from 401, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 149 by 43, we get 3 with a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 93.0
If we take 129 away from 149, we end up with 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 207 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 35.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 934.0
Deduct 172 from 207 and we're left with 35.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 351 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 can be fit into 351 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9348.0
Deduct 344 from 351 and we're left with 7.
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 7:
The number 43 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9348.1
Subtracting 43 from 70 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 43 fits into 270 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9348.16
Subtract 258 from 270 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
120 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9348.162
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 86 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9348.1627
Subtract 301 from 340 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 390 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9348.16279
Deduct 387 from 390 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 43 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9348.16279
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 43 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9348.1627906
If we take 258 away from 300, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 420 by 43, we get 9 and a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9348.16279069
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.

The final result is 9348.16279069 with a remainder of 3.3e-08.
