We're dividing 456481 by 2 
We want to divide 456481 by 2.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 2

On to step 2:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

On to step 3:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 228.0
If we subtract 16 from 16, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2282.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22824.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 2

On to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 228240.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
2 can be fit into 10 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 228240.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, 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 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228240.5
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 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 228240.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 228240.5 with a balance of 0.0.
