552173 ÷ 43 
Our goal is to divide 552173 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 43

On to step 2:
43 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 43 from 55 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 43

On to step 3:
If we divide 122 by 43, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 86 from 122 to get 36.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 361 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
361 divided by 43 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 344 from 361 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 177 / 43

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 177 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1284.0
If we subtract 172 from 177, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 43

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 53 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12841.0
Subtract 43 from 53 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
100 divided by 43 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12841.2
Subtracting 86 from 100 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 43 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12841.23
If we take 129 away from 140, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
43 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12841.232
Deduct 86 from 110 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 43 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12841.2325
If we take 215 away from 240, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
43 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12841.23255
Subtracting 215 from 250 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12841.23255 with a remaining 3.5e-05.
