We divide 59481 by 2
We want to divide 59481 by 2.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

On to step 3:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 297.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Step 4:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2974.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 29740.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29740.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29740.5
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.

Step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 29740.5
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.

The final result is 29740.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
