551846 divided by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 551846.

Advancing to step 1:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 goes into 11 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 275.0
Deduct 10 from 11 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2759.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27592.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
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: 275923.0
Deduct 6 from 6 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.

On to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 275923.0
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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 275923.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 275923.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
