318591 divided by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 318591 can be divided by 2.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 3 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 2 from 3, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 11 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 10 from 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

On to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1592.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15929.0
Subtracting 18 from 19 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

On to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 11 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159295.0
If we subtract 10 from 11, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159295.5
If we subtract 10 from 10, 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:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159295.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159295.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 159295.5 with a balance of 0.0.
