242446 ÷ 2 
Our goal is to divide 242446 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 2

On to step 2:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
2 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

On to step 4:
2 can be fit into 4 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1212.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12122.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 4 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 6 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
2 can be fit into 6 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121223.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 6 from 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 121223.0
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.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121223.0
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 121223.0 with a balance of 0.0.
