We're dividing 285741 by 2 
We want to divide 285741 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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 2:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 17 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1428.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14287.0
Subtract 14 from 14 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 2

Step 6:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142870.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142870.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142870.5
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.

On to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142870.5
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.

The final outcome is 142870.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
