We're dividing 548636 by 43 
We want to divide 548636 by 43.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
43 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 43 from 54 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 43

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 86 away from 118, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 326 / 43

On to step 4:
326 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 301 from 326.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 253 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 253 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 38.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1275.0
Subtract 215 from 253 to get 38.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 386 / 43

On to step 6:
If we divide 386 by 43, we get 8 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12758.0
If we subtract 344 from 386, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
43 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12758.9
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.

Moving on to step 8:
330 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12758.97
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 301 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
43 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12758.976
If we subtract 258 from 290, we get 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 10:
When dividing 320 by 43, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12758.9767
Subtracting 301 from 320 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 43 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12758.97674
If we subtract 172 from 190, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 180 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12758.976744
If we subtract 172 from 180, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12758.976744 with a remaining 8e-07.
