We're dividing 550246 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 550246 by 2.

Advancing 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 take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 2

Step 2:
When dividing 15 by 2, we get 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 275.0
Subtracting 10 from 10 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 2

On to step 4:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2751.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 2 from 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27512.0
Deduct 4 from 4 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 2

Step 6:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 275123.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 275123.0
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.

On to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 275123.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 275123.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
