21477 divided by 2 
We want to divide 21477 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 107.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

On to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1073.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10738.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left 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 6:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10738.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10738.5
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10738.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10738.5 with a balance of 0.0.
