Let's divide 548842 by 2
We want to divide 548842 by 2.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 14 from 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

On to step 3:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Step 4:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2744.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27442.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 274421.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 274421.0
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.

Step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 274421.0
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.

The final result is 274421.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
