We look at the division of 248401 by 2 
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 248401.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

On to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 4 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Step 4:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1242.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

On to step 5:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12420.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

On to step 6:
2 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124200.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124200.5
Subtract 10 from 10 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124200.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Going ahead 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: 124200.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 124200.5 with a balance of 0.0.
