On to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 48552.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

On to step 6:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 485524.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 485524.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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 8:
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: 485524.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 485524.5
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.

Our division results in 485524.5 with a remaining 0.0.
