Specify the steps of an algorithm that locates an element in a list of increasing integers by successively splitting the list into four sublists of equal (or as close to equal as possible) size, and restricting the search to the appropriate piece. (Hint: see binary search algorithm.)

Please explain this step by step. Thank you!
