We look at the division of 298457 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 298457 by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
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: 1.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

On to step 2:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1492.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14922.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Step 6:
2 can be fit into 17 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 149228.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 149228.5
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:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 149228.5
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.

On to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 149228.5
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.

The final result is 149228.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
