We look at the division of 491256 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 491256 by 2.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 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
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 11 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 245.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 10 from 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 12 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2456.0
Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24562.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
16 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245628.0
Subtracting 16 from 16 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245628.0
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 245628.0
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 result is 245628.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
