Let's divide 490698 by 2
Our goal is to divide 490698 by 2.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245.0
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

On to step 4:
6 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2453.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24534.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 245349.0
Subtract 18 from 18 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.

Advancing to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 245349.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245349.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 245349.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
