The number on the left is the one we're dividing by, the one "inside" is the one we're dividing.
The answer goes at the top.

 ------
2|1

How many times does 2 go into 1?
0
So we write (don't forget the decimal point!)

  0.
 ------
2|1.0

Now we have added a 0 on, because there were no digits left.
So how many times does 2 go into 10?
5
So we have

  0.5
 ------
2|1.0
