We're dividing 557884 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 557884.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 278.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2789.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27894.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 278942.0
If we take 4 away from 4, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 278942.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 278942.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 278942.0 with a balance of 0.0.
