510979 ÷ 32 
We want to divide 510979 by 32.

Advancing to step 1:
32 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 32

Step 2:
32 can be fit into 51 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 32 from 51 and we're left with 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 32

On to step 3:
32 can be fit into 190 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 160 from 190 leaves us with 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 32

Going ahead to step 4:
309 divided by 32 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 159.0
Deduct 288 from 309 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 32

Step 5:
32 can be fit into 217 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1596.0
If we take 192 away from 217, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 32

On to step 6:
32 can be fit into 259 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15968.0
Subtracting 256 from 259 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
32 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15968.0
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 32, we get 9 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15968.09
Subtracting 288 from 300 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 32, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15968.093
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 96 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 32, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15968.0937
Subtract 224 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 32, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15968.09375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 160 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 32 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15968.09375
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.

On to step 13:
The number 32 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15968.09375
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.

Our division results in 15968.09375 with a remaining 0.0.
