We divide 1272 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 1272.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

On to step 2:
12 divided by 2 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 7 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

Step 4:
If we divide 12 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 636.0
Deduct 12 from 12 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.

Let's proceed to step 5:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 636.0
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.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 636.0
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 636.0 with a balance of 0.0.
