Let's divide 517883 by 2
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 517883.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 goes into 11 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 10 from 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 2

Step 3:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2589.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 5:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25894.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258941.0
If we take 2 away from 3, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258941.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 258941.5
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.

On to step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 258941.5
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 258941.5 with a balance of 0.0.
