We're dividing 256281 by 43 
We want to divide 256281 by 43.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
43 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 256 / 43

On to step 3:
256 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 215 from 256 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
43 goes into 412 9 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 387 away from 412, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 258 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 258 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 596.0
Subtract 258 from 258 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5960.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5960.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
43 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5960.02
Subtracting 86 from 100 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 43 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5960.023
If we subtract 129 from 140, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
43 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5960.0232
If we subtract 86 from 110, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 43 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5960.02325
If we subtract 215 from 240, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 250 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5960.023255
If we take 215 away from 250, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 5960.023255 with a remainder of 3.5e-06.
