We're dividing 41494 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 41494.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

On to step 2:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
If we subtract 14 from 14, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

On to step 4:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2074.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 14 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20747.0
Deduct 14 from 14 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20747.0
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 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20747.0
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 20747.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
