We're dividing 726542 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 726542 can be divided by 2.

On to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 2, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the 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

Let's proceed to step 2:
2 goes into 12 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

On to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 363.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 2

Step 4:
2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3632.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36327.0
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

Advancing to step 6:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 363271.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, 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 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 363271.0
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 363271.0
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 363271.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
