We divide 256708 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 256708 can be divided 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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 256 5 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 215 from 256, we get 41.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 417 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
43 goes into 417 9 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 387 away from 417, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 300 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 596.0
If we subtract 258 from 300, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 428 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
The number 43 fits into 428 9 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5969.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 387 from 428.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
43 goes into 410 9 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5969.9
Deduct 387 from 410 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 43 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5969.95
If we take 215 away from 230, we end up with 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:
The number 43 fits into 150 3 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5969.953
Deduct 129 from 150 and we're left 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:
43 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5969.9534
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 172 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 43 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5969.95348
Subtract 344 from 380 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5969.953488
Subtracting 344 from 360 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5969.953488 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
