We look at the division of 277494 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 277494 can be divided by 2.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1387.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13874.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 2

Step 6:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138747.0
Subtract 14 from 14 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.

Moving on to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 138747.0
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.

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: 138747.0
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 138747.0 with a remaining 0.0.
