We're dividing 255501 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 255501 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 15 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 14 from 15, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 goes into 15 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1277.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12775.0
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127750.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 127750.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127750.5
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.

Step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127750.5
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 127750.5 with a balance of 0.0.
