554542 divided by 2 
We want to divide 554542 by 2.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 2

On to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 14 away from 15, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 277.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2772.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27727.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 14 from 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 2

Step 6:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 277271.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 277271.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 277271.0
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.

The final result is 277271.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
