321972 divided by 2 
Our goal is to divide 321972 by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 3 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 goes into 12 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

Step 3:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 160.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1609.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16098.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 2

Step 6:
2 can be fit into 12 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160986.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160986.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160986.0
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.

Our division results in 160986.0 with a remaining 0.0.
