496234 divided by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 496234 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

On to step 2:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 248.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2481.0
If we take 2 away from 2, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
2 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24811.0
If we take 2 away from 3, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 14 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 248117.0
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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 248117.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 248117.0
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 final outcome is 248117.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
