260988 divided by 43 
Our goal is to divide 260988 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
43 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 43

Step 3:
If we divide 260 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 258 away from 260, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
43 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 43

On to step 5:
43 can be fit into 298 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 606.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 258 from 298.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 43

On to step 6:
When dividing 408 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6069.0
If we take 387 away from 408, we end up 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.

Step 7:
43 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6069.4
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 8:
380 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6069.48
If we take 344 away from 380, we end up 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 9:
43 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6069.488
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.

The quotient of the division is 6069.488, and the remainder is 0.0016.
