Let's divide 2488601 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 2488601 can be divided by 2.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

On to step 2:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

On to step 4:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1244.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12443.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 124430.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Let's proceed to step 7:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1244300.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1244300.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1244300.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1244300.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1244300.5 with a balance of 0.0.
