Let's divide 236497 by 2
Our goal is to divide 236497 by 2.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

On to step 2:
3 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 2 from 3 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 118.0
If we subtract 16 from 16, we get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1182.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11824.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Step 6:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118248.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118248.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 118248.5
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.

On to step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118248.5
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 result is 118248.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
