We divide 283942 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 283942.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
2 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141.0
Deduct 2 from 3 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1419.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14197.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141971.0
Subtract 2 from 2 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 141971.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141971.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 141971.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
