We're dividing 508261 by 43 
We want to figure out the number of times 508261 can be divided by 43.

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.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 43

Going ahead to step 2:
43 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 43 from 50 to get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 43

On to step 3:
When dividing 78 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 43 from 78 to get 35.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 352 / 43

Step 4:
When dividing 352 by 43, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 344 from 352 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 43

On to step 5:
If we divide 86 by 43, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1182.0
Subtracting 86 from 86 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1 by 43, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11820.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
43 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11820.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 43, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11820.02
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 43, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11820.023
Deduct 129 from 140 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.

On to step 10:
43 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11820.0232
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11820.02325
Subtract 215 from 240 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
43 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11820.023255
If we subtract 215 from 250, we get 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 11820.023255 with a remaining 3.5e-06.
