552858 divided by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 552858 can be divided by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 14 from 15 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 12 by 2, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 276.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2764.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 2

Step 5:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27642.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

On to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276429.0
If we take 18 away from 18, 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.

Step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 276429.0
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.

Step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276429.0
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 276429.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
