Let's divide 721878 by 43
Our goal is to divide 721878 by 43.

Step 1:
43 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 72 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 43 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 43

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 291 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 33.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 258 from 291.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 43 fits into 338 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 167.0
If we subtract 301 from 338, we get 37.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 377 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1678.0
Subtract 344 from 377 to get 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 338 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16787.0
If we subtract 301 from 338, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
43 goes into 370 8 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 16787.8
Subtracting 344 from 370 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
260 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16787.86
Subtracting 258 from 260 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
20 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16787.86
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 43, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16787.8604
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 172 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16787.86046
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 258 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
43 can be fit into 220 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16787.860465
Subtracting 215 from 220 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
43 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16787.8604651
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 43 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 70 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16787.86046511
If we subtract 43 from 70, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16787.86046511 with a remaining 2.7e-08.
