We divide 494041 by 2
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 494041.

On to step 1:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

Step 3:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 247.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2470.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
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: 24702.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247020.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247020.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 247020.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 247020.5
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.

Our division results in 247020.5 with a remaining 0.0.
