Let's divide 550842 by 32
We want to figure out the number of times 550842 can be divided by 32.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 32 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 32

Advancing to step 2:
The number 32 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 32 from 55.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 32

On to step 3:
230 divided by 32 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 224 from 230 to get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 32

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 32, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 172.0
Deduct 64 from 68 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 32

Moving on to step 5:
32 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1721.0
Subtract 32 from 44 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 122 / 32

Advancing to step 6:
122 divided by 32 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17213.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 96 from 122.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 32, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17213.8
If we take 256 away from 260, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
32 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17213.81
Subtract 32 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 32, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17213.812
If we take 64 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 32, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17213.8125
Subtract 160 from 160 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 32, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17213.8125
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
32 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17213.8125
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.

The final outcome is 17213.8125, with a leftover of 0.0.
