Let's divide 947242 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 947242.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
2 goes into 14 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 14 from 14 to get 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 can be fit into 7 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 473.0
If we subtract 6 from 7, we get 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 2

On to step 4:
2 can be fit into 12 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4736.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47362.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 473621.0
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.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 473621.0
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.

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: 473621.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 473621.0 with a balance of 0.0.
