We're dividing 544749 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 544749 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

Step 2:
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: 27.0
Deduct 14 from 14 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

On to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 272.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2723.0
Subtract 6 from 7 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:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27237.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 272374.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272374.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272374.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 272374.5
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 quotient of the division is 272374.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
