We're dividing 817473 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 817473.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

Step 2:
2 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

On to step 3:
2 goes into 17 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4087.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40873.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 13 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 408736.0
Subtracting 12 from 13 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 408736.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Step 8:
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: 408736.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 408736.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 408736.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
