We divide 242546 by 2
Our goal is to divide 242546 by 2.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Step 2:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

On to step 3:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1212.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12127.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121273.0
Deduct 6 from 6 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121273.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Going ahead to 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: 121273.0
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.

The final outcome is 121273.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
