Let's divide 728142 by 2
Our goal is to divide 728142 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

On to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 12 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 12 from 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

On to step 3:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 364.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

On to step 4:
If we divide 1 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3640.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36407.0
If we subtract 14 from 14, we get 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 364071.0
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.

Advancing 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: 364071.0
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.

Moving on 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: 364071.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 364071.0 with a balance of 0.0.
