Let's divide 854217 by 2
We want to divide 854217 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 2

Step 2:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 14 from 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

On to step 4:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4271.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

On to step 5:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42710.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427108.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 427108.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 427108.5
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 427108.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 427108.5 with a balance of 0.0.
