246838 ÷ 43 
We want to figure out the number of times 246838 can be divided by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
43 goes into 2 0 times 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.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 43

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 246 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 215 from 246, we get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 43

On to step 4:
43 goes into 318 7 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 301 from 318, we get 17.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 173 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 can be fit into 173 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 574.0
If we subtract 172 from 173, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 43

On to step 6:
43 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5740.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
43 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5740.4
If we take 172 away from 180, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
43 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5740.41
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 43 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 43 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5740.418
Subtracting 344 from 370 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 260 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5740.4186
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.

Moving on to step 11:
43 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5740.4186
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 200 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5740.418604
Subtracting 172 from 200 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
43 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5740.4186046
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.

On to step 14:
The number 43 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5740.41860465
If we subtract 215 from 220, we 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.

The final result is 5740.41860465 with a remainder of 5e-09.
