539501 divided by 2 
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 539501.

On to step 1:
2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 2

Step 2:
2 can be fit into 13 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 12 from 13 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

Step 3:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2697.0
Deduct 14 from 15 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 2

Step 5:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26975.0
If we take 10 away from 10, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 269750.0
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:
2 can be fit into 10 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 269750.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

Moving on to 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: 269750.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 269750.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 269750.5 with a balance of 0.0.
