We're dividing 143685 by 2 
We want to divide 143685 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 16 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 718.0
Subtracting 16 from 16 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 5:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7184.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71842.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 71842.5
Subtract 10 from 10 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71842.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 71842.5
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 quotient of the division is 71842.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
