We look at the division of 357499 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 357499 can be divided by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 2 from 3 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 14 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 14 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1787.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Step 5:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17874.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
19 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 178749.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178749.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
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 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 178749.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178749.5
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.

The final outcome is 178749.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
