488947 ÷ 43 
We want to figure out the number of times 488947 can be divided by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
43 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 43 from 48, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 43

On to step 3:
When dividing 58 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 43 from 58 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
43 can be fit into 159 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 129 from 159 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 304 / 43

On to step 5:
When dividing 304 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1137.0
Deduct 301 from 304 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 43

Moving on to step 6:
43 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11370.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
370 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11370.8
If we subtract 344 from 370, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
43 can be fit into 260 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11370.86
Subtracting 258 from 260 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
20 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11370.86
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 200 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11370.8604
If we subtract 172 from 200, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11370.86046
Deduct 258 from 280 and we're left with 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 12:
43 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11370.860465
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
43 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11370.8604651
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 43 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11370.86046511
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 43 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11370.86046511 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
