848722 ÷ 2 
Our goal is to divide 848722 by 2.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Step 3:
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: 424.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 goes into 7 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4243.0
If we take 6 away from 7, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 12 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42436.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
2 goes into 2 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 424361.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 424361.0
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Let's proceed 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: 424361.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 424361.0 with a balance of 0.0.
