We're dividing 686173 by 32 
We want to figure out the number of times 686173 can be divided by 32.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 32 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 32

On to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 32, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 64 away from 68, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 32

Advancing to step 3:
32 goes into 46 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 32 from 46 to get 14.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 32

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 141 by 32, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 128 from 141.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 32

Going ahead to step 5:
32 goes into 137 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2144.0
Subtracting 128 from 137 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 93 / 32

Moving on to step 6:
32 goes into 93 2 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21442.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 64 from 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
290 divided by 32 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21442.9
If we subtract 288 from 290, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
32 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21442.9
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
32 can be fit into 200 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21442.906
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 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 10:
32 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21442.9062
If we subtract 64 from 80, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 32 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21442.90625
If we take 160 away from 160, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
32 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21442.90625
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 13:
The number 32 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21442.90625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 21442.90625 with a balance of 0.0.
