We look at the division of 171296 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 171296 by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
43 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 43

Step 2:
43 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 171 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 129 from 171.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 422 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 387 from 422.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 359 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 398.0
Subtracting 344 from 359 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 43

Step 6:
43 goes into 156 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3983.0
Deduct 129 from 156 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
270 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3983.6
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.

Step 8:
43 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3983.62
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 340 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3983.627
Deduct 301 from 340 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 390 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3983.6279
If we subtract 387 from 390, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 30 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3983.6279
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 43 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3983.627906
Subtracting 258 from 300 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
420 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3983.6279069
If we take 387 away from 420, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 330 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3983.62790697
Subtract 301 from 330 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3983.62790697, and the remainder is 2.9e-08.
