We're dividing 498662 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 498662.

On 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
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

On to step 2:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

On to step 3:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
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:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2493.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
6 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24933.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 2 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 2 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 249331.0
Deduct 2 from 2 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.

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: 249331.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 249331.0
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 result is 249331.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
