218042 divided by 2 
We want to divide 218042 by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Step 4:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1090.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10902.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 2

On to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109021.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109021.0
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.

On 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: 109021.0
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.

The final outcome is 109021.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
