We're dividing 288421 by 1 
Our goal is to divide 288421 by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

On to step 2:
8 divided by 1 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 divided by 1 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

On to step 4:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2884.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 1

Step 5:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28842.0
If we take 2 away from 2, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 1, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288421.0
If we subtract 1 from 1, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 288421.0
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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 288421.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 288421.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
