248684 divided by 2 
We want to divide 248684 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Step 2:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 3:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1243.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12434.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

On to step 6:
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: 124342.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124342.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124342.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 124342.0 with a balance of 0.0.
