Let's divide 437974 by 2
Our goal is to divide 437974 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 2 from 3, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 goes into 17 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 218.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2189.0
Subtracting 18 from 19 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 17 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21898.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 218987.0
If we take 14 away from 14, 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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 218987.0
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 218987.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Our division results in 218987.0 with a remaining 0.0.
