279608 divided by 43 
We want to divide 279608 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 43

Step 2:
43 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 43

On to step 3:
43 can be fit into 279 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 258 away from 279, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
216 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 65.0
Deduct 215 from 216 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
10 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 650.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 43

On to step 6:
108 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6502.0
If we subtract 86 from 108, we 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 220 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6502.5
Subtract 215 from 220 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 43 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6502.51
Subtract 43 from 50 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 9:
70 divided by 43 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6502.511
If we subtract 43 from 70, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 6502.511, with a leftover of 0.0027.
