48979502 divided by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 48979502.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Step 3:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2448.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

On to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24489.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 15 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244897.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 2

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2448975.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Advancing to step 8:
2 can be fit into 2 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 24489751.0
Deduct 2 from 2 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.

On to step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24489751.0
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 10:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24489751.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 24489751.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
