We divide 279052 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 279052 can be divided by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 goes into 7 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
19 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 2

Step 4:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1395.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13952.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 12 by 2, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 139526.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
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 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 139526.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 139526.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 139526.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
