We divide 585501 by 2
We want to divide 585501 by 2.

Step 1:
5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 can be fit into 18 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 292.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 2

On to step 4:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2927.0
Deduct 14 from 15 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 10 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29275.0
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 292750.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 292750.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

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: 292750.5
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.

On to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 292750.5
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.

The quotient of the division is 292750.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
