68731 ÷ 43 
We want to divide 68731 by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 43

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 43 from 68 to get 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 43

Step 3:
257 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 215 from 257, we get 42.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 423 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 can be fit into 423 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 387 away from 423, we end up with 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
361 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.0
If we subtract 344 from 361, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 170 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1598.3
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 129 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
410 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1598.39
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 387 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
43 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1598.395
Subtract 215 from 230 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
43 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.3953
If we take 129 away from 150, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 210 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.39534
If we take 172 away from 210, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
43 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.395348
Deduct 344 from 380 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 43 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.3953488
Subtract 344 from 360 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1598.3953488, with a leftover of 1.6e-07.
