We're dividing 227988 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 227988 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
43 goes into 227 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 215 from 227.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 129 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 129 from 129 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 530.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 43

Step 6:
43 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5302.0
Deduct 86 from 88 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 43 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5302.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
43 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5302.04
Deduct 172 from 200 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 43 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5302.046
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.

Step 10:
43 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5302.0465
If we take 215 away from 220, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 11:
43 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5302.04651
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 70 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5302.046511
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.

The quotient of the division is 5302.046511, and the remainder is 2.7e-06.
