Let's divide 480949 by 2
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 480949.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

On to step 2:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Step 4:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2404.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 14 by 2, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24047.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

On to step 6:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240474.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 240474.5
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.

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: 240474.5
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:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 240474.5
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 outcome is 240474.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
