We look at the division of 541256 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 541256.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 270.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 12 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2706.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 2

Going ahead 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: 27062.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

On to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 16 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 270628.0
If we take 16 away from 16, 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:
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: 270628.0
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.

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: 270628.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 270628.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
