Let's divide 49861 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 49861 can be divided by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 249.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 6 by 2, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2493.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24930.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24930.5
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.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24930.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24930.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 24930.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
