27871 divided by 2 
Our goal is to divide 27871 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

On to step 2:
7 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 can be fit into 18 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1393.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

Step 5:
If we divide 11 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13935.0
Subtract 10 from 11 to get 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.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13935.5
Subtract 10 from 10 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 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13935.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13935.5
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.

Our division results in 13935.5 with a remaining 0.0.
