We look at the division of 685974 by 43 
We want to divide 685974 by 43.

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
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
43 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 43 from 68 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
255 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 215 from 255 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 43

Advancing to step 4:
409 divided by 43 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 387 away from 409, we end up with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
43 goes into 227 5 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1595.0
Subtracting 215 from 227 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
43 can be fit into 124 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15952.0
Deduct 86 from 124 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15952.8
Subtracting 344 from 380 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
360 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15952.88
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.

Our division results in 15952.88 with a remaining 0.016.
