We're dividing 494783 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 494783.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

On to step 3:
2 goes into 14 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 247.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 14 from 14.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2473.0
Deduct 6 from 7 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Step 5:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24739.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 2

Step 6:
3 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247391.0
Subtracting 2 from 3 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 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 247391.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
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:
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: 247391.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 247391.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 247391.5 with a balance of 0.0.
