We divide 284843 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 284843 can be divided by 2.

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
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 2

Step 3:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1424.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Moving on 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: 14242.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142421.0
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142421.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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.

Going ahead 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: 142421.5
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142421.5
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

After the division, we end up with 142421.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
