We're dividing 499941 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 499941 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

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
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

On to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

On to step 4:
If we divide 19 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2499.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24997.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 249970.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
2 can be fit into 10 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249970.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249970.5
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.

Step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249970.5
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.

The final result is 249970.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
