We look at the division of 288246 by 2 
We want to divide 288246 by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Step 2:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Step 4:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1441.0
If we take 2 away from 2, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14412.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144123.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 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.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 144123.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 144123.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 144123.0 with a balance of 0.0.
