We're dividing 501281 by 43 
Our goal is to divide 501281 by 43.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 43 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 43, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 43 from 50.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 71 by 43, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 43 from 71.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 282 / 43

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 282 by 43, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we subtract 258 from 282, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 43

Going ahead to step 5:
43 goes into 248 5 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1165.0
Subtracting 215 from 248 leaves us with 33.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 331 / 43

Going ahead to step 6:
331 divided by 43 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11657.0
Subtracting 301 from 331 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 43 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11657.6
Subtract 258 from 300 to 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 8:
43 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11657.69
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 387 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
43 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11657.697
If we subtract 301 from 330, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 290 by 43, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11657.6976
Subtracting 258 from 290 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 11657.69767
If we subtract 301 from 320, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 12:
190 divided by 43 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11657.697674
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 172 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 43, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11657.6976744
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.

After the division, we end up with 11657.6976744 and a remainder of 8e-08.
