We divide 427717 by 2
Our goal is to divide 427717 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 goes into 7 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 213.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

On to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2138.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 11 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21385.0
Subtracting 10 from 11 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 213858.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 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:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 213858.5
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213858.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 213858.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 213858.5 with a balance of 0.0.
