879281 divided by 43 
Our goal is to divide 879281 by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
43 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 86 from 87.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 43

On to step 3:
19 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 192 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 192 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtract 172 from 192 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 43

On to step 5:
43 goes into 208 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2044.0
Subtract 172 from 208 to get 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 361 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20448.0
If we subtract 344 from 361, 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.

Step 7:
43 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20448.3
If we subtract 129 from 170, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 410 by 43, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20448.39
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 9:
43 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20448.395
Deduct 215 from 230 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
43 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 20448.3953
Deduct 129 from 150 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20448.39534
If we take 172 away from 210, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
43 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20448.395348
Subtract 344 from 380 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
360 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20448.3953488
If we subtract 344 from 360, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 20448.3953488 and a remainder of 1.6e-07.
