We're dividing 500871 by 32 
Our goal is to divide 500871 by 32.

On to step 1:
32 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 32

Moving on to step 2:
32 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 32 from 50 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 180 / 32

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 32 fits into 180 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 160 from 180.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 32

Step 4:
32 can be fit into 208 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 192 from 208.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 32

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 167 by 32, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1565.0
Deduct 160 from 167 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 32

Step 6:
When dividing 71 by 32, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15652.0
Subtracting 64 from 71 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
32 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15652.2
Deduct 64 from 70 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 32, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15652.21
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 32 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
32 can be fit into 280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15652.218
Deduct 256 from 280 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.

Moving on to step 10:
32 can be fit into 240 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15652.2187
Subtracting 224 from 240 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 160 by 32, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15652.21875
Deduct 160 from 160 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.

Step 12:
0 divided by 32 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15652.21875
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Step 13:
0 divided by 32 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15652.21875
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15652.21875 and a remainder of 0.0.
