We're dividing 42984956 by 243 
We want to divide 42984956 by 243.

Step 1:
4 divided by 243 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 243

On to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 243, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 429 / 243

Going ahead to step 3:
243 goes into 429 1 times with a remainder of 186.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 243 from 429 leaves us with 186.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 186, then repeat: 1868 / 243

Going ahead to step 4:
243 goes into 1868 7 times with a remainder of 167.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 1701 from 1868, we get 167.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 167 and continue: 1674 / 243

Step 5:
When dividing 1674 by 243, we get 6 with a remainder of 216.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 176.0
The remainder is 216 after subtracting 1458 from 1674.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 216, then repeat: 2169 / 243

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2169 by 243, we get 8 with a remainder of 225.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1768.0
The remainder is 225 after subtracting 1944 from 2169.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 225, then repeat: 2255 / 243

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2255 by 243, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17689.0
If we subtract 2187 from 2255, we get 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 243

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 686 by 243, we get 2 and a remainder of 200.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 176892.0
If we take 486 away from 686, we end up with 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 243 fits into 2000 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176892.8
Deduct 1944 from 2000 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
243 goes into 560 2 times with a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176892.82
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 486 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 740 by 243, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 176892.823
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 729 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
110 divided by 243 is 0 with a remainder of 110.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 176892.823
The remainder is 110 after subtracting 0 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 243 fits into 1100 4 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 176892.82304
The remainder is 128 after subtracting 972 from 1100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 1280 by 243, we get 5 with a remainder of 65.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 176892.823045
Subtract 1215 from 1280 to get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
243 goes into 650 2 times with a remainder of 164.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176892.8230452
The remainder is 164 after subtracting 486 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 243 fits into 1640 6 times, leaving a remainder of 182.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 176892.82304526
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 1458 from 1640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1820, and continue the process.

The final result is 176892.82304526 with a remainder of 1.82e-07.
