We look at the division of 867042 by 512 
Our goal is to divide 867042 by 512.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 512, we get 0 and 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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 512

Advancing to step 2:
86 divided by 512 is 0 with a remainder of 86.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 0 from 86.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 867 / 512

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 867 by 512, we get 1 and a remainder of 355.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 512 away from 867, we end up with 355.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 355 and continue: 3550 / 512

Going ahead to step 4:
512 goes into 3550 6 times with a remainder of 478.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 3072 from 3550 and we're left with 478.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 478, then repeat: 4784 / 512

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 4784 by 512, we get 9 with a remainder of 176.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 4608 from 4784.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 176 and repeat the process: 1762 / 512

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1762 by 512, we get 3 with a remainder of 226.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1693.0
The remainder is 226 after subtracting 1536 from 1762.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
512 can be fit into 2260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 212.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1693.4
If we subtract 2048 from 2260, we get 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 2120 by 512, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1693.44
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 2048 from 2120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1693.44 with a remaining 0.072.
