562842 divided by 2 
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 562842.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 16 from 16 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 281.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Step 4:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2814.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28142.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 281421.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281421.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 281421.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 281421.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
