Let's divide 842496 by 2
Our goal is to divide 842496 by 2.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

On to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4212.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42124.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

On to step 6:
When dividing 16 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 421248.0
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:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 421248.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 421248.0
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

The final outcome is 421248.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
