Let's divide 543871 by 1
We want to divide 543871 by 1.

Moving on to step 1:
1 can be fit into 5 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 5 from 5 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
1 can be fit into 3 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 543.0
If we subtract 3 from 3, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5438.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 7 by 1, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54387.0
If we take 7 away from 7, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
1 goes into 1 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 543871.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 543871.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 543871.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 543871.0 with a balance of 0.0.
