540539 divided by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 540539.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 14 from 14 to get 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 270.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 5 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2702.0
Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 2

On to step 5:
2 goes into 13 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 27026.0
Subtracting 12 from 13 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

Step 6:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 270269.0
If we take 18 away from 19, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 270269.5
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:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 270269.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270269.5
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.

Our division results in 270269.5 with a remaining 0.0.
