We're dividing 712956 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 712956.

On to step 1:
2 can be fit into 7 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 can be fit into 11 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 10 away from 11, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
12 divided by 2 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 356.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 2

Step 4:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3564.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35647.0
If we subtract 14 from 15, we get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Step 6:
If we divide 16 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 356478.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 16 from 16.
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 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 356478.0
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.

Step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 356478.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 356478.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
