We're dividing 996587 by 1 
We want to divide 996587 by 1.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 6 by 1, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 996.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 1

On to step 4:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9965.0
Subtracting 5 from 5 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 99658.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 1

On to step 6:
7 divided by 1 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 996587.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 7 from 7.
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:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 996587.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 996587.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 996587.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
