We divide 540455 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 540455.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
2 goes into 14 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Step 3:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 270.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2702.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27022.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 15 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 270227.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 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:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270227.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 270227.5
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 270227.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 270227.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
