We're dividing 49946 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 49946.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 2

On to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 249.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2497.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 14 from 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 6 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24973.0
Deduct 6 from 6 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24973.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 24973.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 24973.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
