We divide 286542 by 43
Let's see how many times 43 fits into 286542.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 43, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 43

Advancing to step 2:
The number 43 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 286 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 286 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 258 from 286 to get 28.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 285 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 285 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 27.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 66.0
Subtract 258 from 285 to get 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 43

Step 5:
When dividing 274 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 666.0
Subtracting 258 from 274 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 43

On to step 6:
The number 43 fits into 162 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6663.0
If we subtract 129 from 162, we 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 7:
330 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6663.7
Subtract 301 from 330 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 290 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6663.76
If we take 258 away from 290, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
43 can be fit into 320 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6663.767
If we take 301 away from 320, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 190 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6663.7674
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
180 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6663.76744
Subtracting 172 from 180 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 6663.76744 with a remainder of 8e-06.
