Let's divide 2178 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 2178 can be divided by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
43 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 215 from 217, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
28 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 5:
When dividing 280 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.6
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 258 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 220 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.65
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 215 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.651
If we subtract 43 from 50, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 70 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.6511
If we take 43 away from 70, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 50.6511 and a remainder of 0.00027.
