We're dividing 449981 by 2 
We want to divide 449981 by 2.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2249.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22499.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 2

On to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 224990.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 224990.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
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 8:
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: 224990.5
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 224990.5
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.

Our division results in 224990.5 with a remaining 0.0.
