We divide 495708 by 2
Our goal is to divide 495708 by 2.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247.0
Deduct 14 from 15 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

On to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2478.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 2

Step 5:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24785.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 6:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247854.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
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 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 247854.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247854.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

The final outcome is 247854.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
