248986 divided by 1 
Our goal is to divide 248986 by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
1 can be fit into 2 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 1

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 4 by 1, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 248.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2489.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24898.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 6 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 6 by 1, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 248986.0
If we take 6 away from 6, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 248986.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 248986.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

The final outcome is 248986.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
