We divide 864542 by 32
We want to figure out the number of times 864542 can be divided by 32.

Let's proceed to step 1:
32 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 32

Going ahead to step 2:
32 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 64 from 86 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 32

Going ahead to step 3:
32 can be fit into 224 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 224 from 224 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 32

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 32, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 32

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 32 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2701.0
If we subtract 32 from 54, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 32

Advancing to step 6:
32 goes into 222 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27016.0
If we subtract 192 from 222, we get 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:
32 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27016.9
Subtract 288 from 300 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
32 can be fit into 120 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27016.93
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 96 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 240 by 32, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27016.937
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 224 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
32 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27016.9375
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 32, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 27016.9375
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.

Advancing to step 12:
32 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27016.9375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 27016.9375 with a balance of 0.0.
