We're dividing 542499 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 542499 by 43.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 43 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 43

Step 2:
If we divide 54 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 43 from 54, we get 11.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 43

Step 3:
43 can be fit into 112 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 86 from 112 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 264 / 43

Going ahead to step 4:
264 divided by 43 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 126.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 258 from 264.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 43

Step 5:
The number 43 fits into 69 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1261.0
Subtracting 43 from 69 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 43

Advancing to step 6:
43 can be fit into 269 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12616.0
Deduct 258 from 269 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
43 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12616.2
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
43 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12616.25
Deduct 215 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
The number 43 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12616.255
If we take 215 away from 250, we end up 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 12616.255 with a remaining 0.0035.
