We divide 142838 by 43
Our goal is to divide 142838 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 43

Step 2:
14 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
43 goes into 142 3 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 129 from 142 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 138 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 138 by 43, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 129 from 138 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 93 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 43 fits into 93 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 332.0
Subtracting 86 from 93 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 78 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3321.0
Subtract 43 from 78 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3321.8
Subtract 344 from 350 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3321.81
If we subtract 43 from 60, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
170 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3321.813
If we take 129 away from 170, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.8139
If we subtract 387 from 410, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
43 can be fit into 230 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3321.81395
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 215 from 230.
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 12:
43 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3321.813953
If we subtract 129 from 150, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 210 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 38.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3321.8139534
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.

Advancing to step 14:
43 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3321.81395348
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3321.81395348 with a balance of 3.6e-08.
