We look at the division of 487712 by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 487712 can be divided by 2.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 8 from 8 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243.0
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
2 can be fit into 17 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2438.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

On to step 5:
11 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24385.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 10 from 11.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
2 goes into 12 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243856.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, 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.

Step 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243856.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243856.0
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.

The final outcome is 243856.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
