142779 divided by 43 
We want to divide 142779 by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
43 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 43

Step 2:
The number 43 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 43

On to step 3:
43 can be fit into 142 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 129 from 142.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 43

On to step 4:
43 goes into 137 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 129 away from 137, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 43

Let's proceed to step 5:
43 goes into 87 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 332.0
If we subtract 86 from 87, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 43 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3320.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
43 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3320.4
If we take 172 away from 190, 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.

Step 8:
43 goes into 180 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3320.44
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.

After the division, we end up with 3320.44 and a remainder of 0.008.
