Let's divide 549278 by 43
We want to figure out the number of times 549278 can be divided by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 43

On to step 2:
43 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 43 away from 54, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 43

Step 3:
43 can be fit into 119 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 86 from 119 leaves us with 33.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 332 / 43

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 332 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 301 from 332 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 317 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 317 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1277.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 301 from 317.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
43 can be fit into 168 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12773.0
Deduct 129 from 168 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
43 can be fit into 390 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12773.9
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 387 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
30 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12773.9
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 43 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12773.906
Deduct 258 from 300 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
43 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12773.9069
Subtract 387 from 420 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12773.90697
Deduct 301 from 330 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
290 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12773.906976
Subtracting 258 from 290 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 43, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12773.9069767
Deduct 301 from 320 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
43 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12773.90697674
Deduct 172 from 190 and we're left 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.

The final result is 12773.90697674 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
