We're dividing 272992 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 272992 can be divided by 2.

On to step 1:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

On to step 2:
2 can be fit into 7 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 12 by 2, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136.0
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

Advancing to step 4:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1364.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

On to step 5:
When dividing 19 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13649.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Step 6:
When dividing 12 by 2, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136496.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 136496.0
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.

Step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136496.0
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 136496.0 with a remaining 0.0.
