Let's divide 987456 by 2
Our goal is to divide 987456 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Step 2:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 7 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 493.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 14 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4937.0
Subtracting 14 from 14 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 2

Step 5:
2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49372.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 4 from 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 493728.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 16 from 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 493728.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 493728.0
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.

The final outcome is 493728.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
