496838 ÷ 2 
We want to divide 496838 by 2.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Step 3:
2 goes into 16 8 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 248.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Step 4:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2484.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 2

Step 5:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24841.0
Deduct 2 from 3 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 248419.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
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 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 248419.0
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 248419.0
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 quotient of the division is 248419.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
