Let's divide 178144 by 43
Our goal is to divide 178144 by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
43 can be fit into 178 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 172 from 178 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
43 goes into 61 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 43 from 61 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 184 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
43 goes into 184 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 414.0
If we take 172 away from 184, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 124 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4142.0
Subtracting 86 from 124 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 7:
The number 43 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4142.8
If we subtract 344 from 380, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
43 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4142.88
If we take 344 away from 360, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4142.88, with a leftover of 0.016.
