We divide 488902 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 488902.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 can be fit into 8 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2444.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 10 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24445.0
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Step 6:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 244451.0
If we take 2 away from 2, 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 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244451.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 244451.0
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 244451.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
